World's Largest Model Railroad
Well, if not the largest, it’s certainly one of the largest. Mini Wonderland Hamburg’s warehouse district is home to this colossal railroad that would make any young - or old- model hobbyist jump with glee. Day turns to night every half hour in this miniature world. The mega-miniature railroad includes more than 450 railway carriages with more than 7.000 trailers, 50,000 trees, 30,000 figures, 10,000 cars, more than 3 miles of track, 3,000 houses and lots of bridges. Truly a stunning showcase of miniaturization - Cars, bridges, human figures - the level of detail is amazing! Reason enough to visit Hamburg. The linked series of 20 images will give you a sense of the magnitude of this layout.
