[Kevin and Marie]

This truly is amazing and if you watch the video and look close you can see a
TR4 getting pulled over, for speeding.  Pure fantasy.

I'd kinda like to go to Germany just to see this. Really cool!





.
            This is a must see!!!!
            Did you always want a train set when you were a kid . . . . . ?

            Two German Brothers have put this 'TRAIN SET' together.

            BE SURE to click on the link at the end and view this in motion.



            This is the world's biggest train set . . . . . Covers 1,150
square meters or 12,380 square feet, and features almost six miles of track
and is still not complete.


            Twin brothers Frederick and Gerrit Braun, 41, began work on the
'Miniature Wunderland' in the year 2000.



            The set covers six regions including America, Switzerland,
Scandinavia, Germany, and the Austrian Alps.



            The American section features giant models of the Rocky Mountains,
the Everglades in Florida, the Grand-Canyon, etc.




            . . . . . . and Mount Rushmore.



            The Swiss section has a mini-Matter-horn.



            The Scandinavian part has a 4 foot long passenger ship floating in
a 'fjord'.




            It is expected to be finished in 2014, when the train set would
cover more than 1,800 square meters or 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 of 700 trains with more than 10,000 carriages and
wagons.



            The longest train is 46 feet long.




            The scenery includes 900 signals, 2,800 buildings, 4,000 cars -
many with illuminated headlights.




            . . . . . . and 160,000 individually designed figures.


            Thousands of kilograms of steel and wood was used to construct the
scenery.



            The 250,000 lights are rigged up to a system that mimics night and
day by automatically turning them on and off.



            The whole system is controlled from a massive high-tech nerve
center.




            In total the set has taken 500,000 hours and more than 8 million
euro to put together, the vast majority of which has come from visitors ticket
sales.



            Gerrit said: "Our idea was to build a world that men, women, and
children can be equally astonished and amazed with."




            Frederik added: "Whether gambling in Las Vegas, hiking in the Alps
or paddling in Norwegian fjords - in this Wunderland everything is possible.

            "This 4-minute video is worth watching to see all this amazing
stuff in motion.
