"HAMBURG, Germany--Sure, Miniatur Wunderland is the world's largest collection of model trains, but to describe it that way would do it a serious injustice. What it really is is a beyond-belief collection of fantastic dioramas depicting scenes from the Swiss and Austrian Alps, Germany, the United States, and Scandinavia throughout which run 900 trains on the more than eight miles of tracks."

Amazing! I remember seeing this featured in part in one of James May's "Toy Stories" on BBC America.

Giant miniature? Wouldn't be so large if it wasn't miniature. How boring would that be? "Another nice train layout". Largely minuscule?

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
