YouTube - Miniatur Wunderland *** official corporate video *** largest model railway / railroad in the world
This is simply unbelievable. The "Miniature Wonderland"
model railroad in Hamburg , Germany the largest in the
world, covering 16,146 square feet of space with more than
10,000 train cars running around its 6.8 miles of HO scale
track. Now, the makers of this huge layout have created a
video that gives you a jaw-dropping look at the vast scope
of this intricate work of art.
Its construction started in 2000, and is still underway,
with a tiny airport due for completion by the end of
this year. This is just the beginning — there are plans
to double to layout by 2014. We especially like the Las
Vegas portion, complete with dazzling LEDs lighting up the
night.
You have to watch the new video to get the full impact of
this remarkable achievement, which has taken in excess of
500,000 working hours to build. There's good reason why
this is Germany 's most popular attraction, already
visited by more than 5 million flabbergasted tourists.
