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.
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.
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.
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."
