TEN kilometer of track he said.. The 800 trains travel several 100 kilometers every 24 hours, hauling some 10.000 railroad cars Longest train: 14,5 meters .. 30.000 litres of real water.. 300.000 LED's.. 200 Camera's for supervision.. Impressive for sure, Bandit

OK Bandit don't leave us hanging whats the cost to see this miniature world?
The narrator also said that the longest train was 40 meters long = 100 feet, wow that when heck of a long miniature train imagine how many engines it take to pull a 100 train cars...

Must be his German accent, I had to replay it 3 times, he did say 14 meters on the 3rd replay which is still 35 feet......
edit so whats that in dollars? I can't find a conversion from euro to US currency..... what maybe $15.00

1 Euro = 1.3657 U.S. dollars And the German accent is a b.tch for sure though we ought to be thankful for this English translation because German(y/s) usually translate pretty much everything in their own language .. One example of German translation: My father went to the cinema in Germany a few years ago, seeing a movie called "Stirb Langsam" - which litteraly means: "Die Slow(ly)" Or in proper English: "Die Hard" ...

I've been there a year ago or so.. Really impressive, they are so many small details ,that you need more than 2 days to see everything.

Wow, amazing. This reminds me of Madurodam. All three/four times I visited Holland I just had to visit Madurodam as well. It's just epic. Except this one in Germany seems to be larger. Although Madurodam offers more than just a miniature model of the country. There's other stuff to do as well, and it's out doors.
