Model Railroading At It's Finest
Twin brothers Frederick and Braun, 41, began work on the 'Miniature Wunderland' in 2000.
This is the world's biggest train set.
Covers 1,150 square meters / 12,380 square feet
Features almost six miles of track and is still not complete.
The set covers six regions including America , Switzerland , Scandinavia , Germany , and the Austrian Alps.
It is expected to be finished in 2014, when the train set would cover more than 1,800 square meters / (19,376 sq ft) and feature almost 13 miles of track, by which time detailed models of parts of France, Italy and the UK would have been added.
It comprises 700 trains with more than 10,000 carriages and wagons.
The scenery includes 900 signals, 2,800 buildings, 4,000 cars - many with illuminated headlights.

Watch this 4 minute video. Simply amazing :thumbsup: Danny

INCREDIBLE!! :thumbsup:

Takes me back to the days when I was younger and helped my Dad setup our layout every fall/winter on (3) 4x8 sheets of plywood. Back then that was impressive enough for me!
