I watched the whole series on this, 25 something episodes. Took 6 years to plan, and 4 years to build. There's closed captioning in English. Trying to plan a trip to go see it sometime soon.

1/87 HO. It's part of the world's largest model railroad layout in Hamburg, Germany, at a place called "Miniature Wonderland"

That's so cool! I remember how cool it was seeing cities made out of Lego's when I was a kid and went to Lego Land. This is way cooler!

That is unbelievable. They almost seem more like airplane nuts than train nuts, to build that so intricately.  :o

The amount of research and design that went into this was amazing.
