OMG...

Has anyone been to it? Do the workers there get paid to sit around all day to play with model trains?

That is pretty cool. Would love to see it in person. I especially thought that the car with the speed control camera flashing and the dead body in the river were especially funny...

Somehow I think for the kind of person who would want to work there, just being there is reward enough.

Pff, I'd be impressed if it were O scale.








I'm kidding. I loved the penguins on vacation, among other things (like the hundreds of cars and trucks moving around). This makes my layout look like some two-bit hack made it.

Actually, compared to these guys, I am a two-bit hack.

 

[heehee]

That's utter cool.

Am I the only one who thought, "What, is it just slightly smaller than a real train?"

Nope, I thought the same. By "Most Gigantic Model Railroad" I thought it meant, the biggest railroad cars.

Well, I'm definitely adding Hamburg to my list of places to visit!

I love the automation of all the cars, ships, and planes. Much more detail and work than a lot of other major layouts.

Wow so going to see that when I can get out there

if all the people were moving about randomly say shopping etc, I'd be blown to smitherscreens

This is really impressive though, I used to like these as a kid.
