Located outside Hamburg, Germany and built at a cost of 8 Million pounds, the layout features areas representing different parts of Europe and the U.S.

Very cool. A video is also linked to this online Mail article:

That is absolutly awesome! I love the spectators with the flashing cameras, the couple ... in the bushes, the body being fished out of the lake, the snowman in the outhouse, the red light district, Mt. Rushmore, the lights coming on at nightfall...EVERYTHING!!!!
I'm not a train set buff by any means, but my dad really would've loved it!
Thanks for posting this! :hat:

That is just phenomenal! My biggest question would be how they've engineered access to all of the areas that they must constantly need to fix/repair/add to. Amazing!

Awsome work!:thumbsup:

I just keep watching it over and over...I love stuff that lights up ..

I've always loved trains...

I love this stuff. Has anybody found a link to this with a camera mounted on the train to give a track-eye view of the layout?
