Koos, I saw that layout several years ago in Heilbronn shortly after I started with US model railroading. I was deeply impressed and it influencing a lot of my modeling. It is a steady reminder to be aware of the right proportions of (tiny) railroad vs. (huge) industry. It did open my eyes for scratch building too. My current layout is apparently influenced by New Ponca Yard.
ps. The other early and massive influencer was and is Jon with Sweet Home Chicago.
