The "Miniatur Wunderland" railroad in Hamburg. Posted about it some years ago, but I think their real-size airport is new.

On that page, many more videos on the MWL. Always nice to watch again.

Wonderful. I love.
They should definitely make a night time video, the runway edge lighting by night would make it all look even greater than it already is. :|\\

...biggest miniature...


Isn't that an oxymoron?...

You know, like, 'jumbo shrimp', 'smartest congressmember', etc....

No, at least not as as long as you would not consider it to make more sense when saying that it is the smallest miniature installation there is.

Both terms do not directly refer to each other, but to two different dimensions: the size of the whole installation project, and the size of the object/theme the installation is about. It are small miniatures. It is a big installation.

Yeah! A Military one would be awesome, but I cant decide if WW2 or modern would be better :)

Nice one August, are they kits or pre-built model railway units? It actually quite hard to tell.
You know - I never did quite understand the concept of a rail based Artilary platform, pretty limited mobility for such hardware. I might just go and do some reading up on it now actually :O:

I think they're pre-builts. The RR gun is for sure as I had one of those when I was a kid.

Yeah but they throw one heckuva shell. Probably not useful today but back in WW1 and into WW2 they definitely had their uses.

New film from the Miniatur Wunderland Hamburg. Formula 1 racetrack, Provence, South America... In real life: they got new buildings and halls, getting even bigger.

1 hours 42 minutes!

It may be my coldblooded non-humorous Germaness, but I dont get this Turkish Airline thing. Is that some kind of internationally running gag like "Karen", or what? But then, I did not get this Karen thing as well.

Ja, if only there was a subsim member that had a large number of aeroplanes? They could convert their flat to an entire airfield!
