The world's biggest 'toy' train set
A team of railway fans have built the worlds largest train set with over SIX MILES of tracks.Costing £8 million and taking over nine years to put together the minature railway was the idea of twins Frederik and Gerrit Braun.
It features over 700 trains, 4,000 moving cars and 160,000 figures spread across six regions boasting amazing models of some of the world's most famous landmarks.
They already have Mount Rushmore, Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon, but they are not done yet and plan on doubling the size by 2014 and adding more countries.
Presumably in the planned UK section even the model trains will run late.
Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg, Germany is open to the public and has already attracted millions of visitors. "Our idea was to build a world that men, women, and children can be equally astonished and amazed in," said Gerrit Braun.
