Model train lovers...

[Skullkrusher]

If you're into model trains or just models of any type........check this out. Really freaking cool! Wish I could visit there some day.

That is pretty fantastic! A lot more detailed than our slot car track!

Nobody else digs this? You guys suck.

That is because they are TOO FRIGGIN LAZY to click on the link!

I think this is pretty over the top and kicks major @ss! I had a train layout when I was younger, and always wanted a little miniature city and all that. Too much money though. This is sick as hell! And yes, I watched the whole video.

i love trains... always have... used to dress like a conductor as a kid and carried round a wooden train whistle... now i have another reason to go to the Father Land lol

I´ve been there before, the video doesn´t do it justice, it´s just absolutely huge and the attention to detail is staggering. And that was before the swiss section was started 2-3 years ago. With the Swiss section and teh airport they´re building it should be bombastic.

I had a great train set as a kid, my grandfather built a great board/set for it. Unfortunately, I was a very irresponsible young adult, and the set was lost.

Man that is AWESOME!
I had trains as a kid, and a few years ago I got back into it. Spent a lot of money building a layout in my loft with digital control for the trains and stuff. It's a great hobby, but unfortunately, unless you have a LOT of room I felt it didn't work. I wasn't into runnning trains realistically, I just wanted a kind of working model of (an idealized) real life - nice scenery with some trains running through it. I didn't have the room so sold off all my stuff and got into astronomy (that's another story).

That video was just brilliant. Especially the "thick people" comment.

As a member of a precision engineering family - I really dig model engineering!

[WhoFan]

i have a bunch of train sets i've collected over the years... my 50 year old American Flyer set is the king of my collection... the rest is HO scale stuff

[Diocletian]

HO, or OO as we use over here, is the best compromise between amount of detail and amount of space needed.
N scale is just too small to convey any impression of the sheer power of railways IMO. And G scale just takes up far too much room.

That's freaking ridiculous! I used to love trains as a child. My parents took me to every train museum when I was little. I had a lionel vhs that had all these huge train set-ups like that and it showed them for like an hour or so, I played that shiz out. I had lego trainsets as a child, but never anything like lionel or HO or something. I love that stuff though, sweet vid too!

[Sludgenutz]

Too cool! Would they let you in, if you were dressed up as Godzilla?

[formula73]

That is SO cool!

[RW James]

That is very cool. They must have a huge staff performing maintenance on that every day.

I'm currently building a new HO/OO layout that I will be taking to shows - but it's only 20 square feet.

[Markk]

Models of practically anything are cool. But I really like huge sets like that with little mini stories everywhere. Just overwhelming.

[Philcguitars]

There's a pretty big out-door layout somewhere in Switzerland too in 'o' guage I think! It's supposed to represent every Canton of Switzerland. I've seen photos but can't remember where.

[Skullkrusher]

My dad used to have a nice setup. I want to visit the one in the link really bad though.

[Rich_S]

That is really cool - I'd like to see it some day.

I liked how the video described the whorehouse and city hall in the same sentence.
