JUST HAD TO SHARE THIS.... COULDN’T BELIEVE THIS EXISITS SOMEWHERE. SO MUCH DETAIL.





Remember the two brothers, in Germany, who had a wonderful model railway that was something to see? This is an update of their German Wonderland.


A short review, it was started by two brothers as a place to show their hobby began to grow by leaps & bounds. Soon they were joined by other 'Model Railroad Clubs' and other craftsmen. Some were electricians, model makers, carpenters, computer programmers. Their wives would stop by to see what they were doing and usually bring them a lunch

One thing led to another. Three of the ladies had worked at a bakery, several visitors would ask if they had a snack bar. The idea was planted; some of the carpenters came and built a nice restaurant area for the bakery and a kitchen, too. If the fresh coffee smell didn't get you, then the bakery definitely would. Over 400,000 man hours were spent making this dream come true.

This was about 5 years ago. One of the breweries came and furnished all the tables and chairs, serving counter etc. Their latest finished area is the airport. Planes look like they are flying and landing. GERMAN WONDERLAND IN HAMBURG link below - AMAZING!


20 minutes long

 

Just past the halfway point, there is an airport. It's brilliant how the plane flies up into the clouds. Still watching..
 

Porpoises leaping through the water! Geppeto (sp) and Pinocchio in the workshop :)
I seen that, too!

There's almost too much to take in with just a single watch, this video deserves several watches to spot most everything.

Another I loved was the huge sports stadium, where the flashes of spectators cameras can be seen.
 
Oh, My God!!!!! Totally awed. The plane actually took off and flew away. I'm overwhelmed by the attention to detail. "Impressive" does not do justice to describing the amount of work and ingenuity. Just putting those thousands of human figures on the display !!!!!
