An ICE train flashing by, a preview of our real one in a couple of days.

Even people who don't care for model trains seem fascinated by the displays.

The tail enders have lost touch with the peleton already descending the other side of the bridge.

Even here, sometimes there is need for "hand of god" repairs.

The real reason for Hamburg

2019年8月12日, ドイツ ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

Okay, I confess. The real reason for visiting Hamburg was one of Germany's biggest tourist attractions, Miniatur Wunderland - the world's biggest model railway.

They have scenes based on locations in Hamburg, other parts of Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Scandinavia, and USA, with Monaco and Provence, France under construction.

Whilst there are many railway, town and countryside scenes excellently modelled, one of the big highlights is the airport where planes leave their terminal, taxi to the runway and then take off, disappearing into the sky, while other planes descend from the sky, onto the runway and taxi to the terminal.

They have just announced they are building a bridge across a canal (a real one) to extend Wunderland to another old warehouse across the canal. There, they will be doing scenes of South America.もっと詳しく
