Ultimate train set

Miniatur Wunderland *** official video 2012 *** largest model railway / railroad of the world - YouTube

Isn't this the one that has some "amorous" folks hidden in the bushes in one part of it?

Talk about HO scale...

 

[Junk Pilot]

I think it is. I saw a few non-family orientated scenes in the clip.

They also now have a fully functioning scale airport... There's a build log on YouTube (close to 30 episodes I think, all 10 - 15 minutes) following the progress, pitfalls, milestones and finally the grand opening. Only downside is its in German. It does have subtitles though.

Wow...... Just wow!

 

[joez2391]

that is insane, the details are incredible everything looks so lifelike. Im really impressed with the airport, its so cool how the planes actually take off and land. really neat.

 

[blakeh1]

Yeah that is awesome. Model Railroader had an article a couple years ago on it. They showed how they set up the cars to appear to be moving on their own by using magnets. At that time I don't think they had the airport built.

Attention to detail is stunning, feel a German trip coming on, I love it

 

[Drewid]

If I ever make it to Germany, I'm adding that to the list of things to see. Wow!

In the comments section under the video, it sounds like they have that covered: "There is a chained giant beneath all of this who gets out once a day and blows all over it, He is paid in klondike bars."

That's INSANE! I would hate to be the person who has to dust that thing, yeesh!

Nice, HO scale is the best right? :confused

 

[Mauiman]

Perhaps we as a community here should do something like that.
