On my recent vacation to Hamburg, Germany I was delighted to visit Miniatur
Wunderland (German for miniature wonderland) it is a model railway attraction and one of the largest of its kind in the world. As of January
2011, the railway consists of 39,370 ft of track in HO scale, divided into
seven sections: Harz, the fictitious city of Knuffingen with
International Airport, the Alps and Austria, Hamburg, America, Scandinavia, and
Switzerland. The exhibit includes 890 trains made up of over 11,000 carriages,
300,000 lights, 215,000 trees, and 200,000 human figurines.
We spent well over 3-hours walking through the entire exhibit and it is still growing. They have plans to build new attractions all the way out until 2020. Here are a few pictures from our trip.

4th of July Weekend Break
It has been decided! Since the family and I will be going on a trip to Hamburg on the long weekend it will leave no time to the hobby. Thus no progress on my multiple project front. I hope everyone has a great weekend. *On the down low my wife does not know I am looking for gaming stores in Hamburg to visit, so there might be a post for this weekend*
