This is the first time I've ever seen this layout!?!? Does anyone know if it's been covered in MR before?? [#wstupid] I had always thought that if I could make only one pilgrimage in my lifetime to see a spectacular layout, it would be either the musuem in San Diego or Northlandz (in NJ I believe). After seeing this setup, however, I think I'd go to Hamburg, Germany before I'd go to either of those!! [;)] Holy crap!! This setup is incredible. I mean I guess it all depends on what floats your boat, but you have to admit this layout is something to be behold. Myself, I really like the hi-tech direction that the hobby is taking with the DCC, computer automation, electroluminiscent lighting, etc. I love the "oohh's" and the "awwhh's" of animation, so I guess that is why I was so taken aback by this layout. The pics in MR really don't do it enough justice. They could have easily filled 20 pages with great pictures. You really need to go to http://www.miniatur-wunderland.de to get the full effect! They have hundreds of pics posted, and even some videos (in their online store they also sell 75-min. DVD's of the layout, which I plan to purchase, if I can figure out whether they ship to the US...)[?] One thing I really love about this setup is its use of the moving vehicles. They used a modified Faller system. All the cars are illuminated and the blinkers even work. They now have a US section that features many things, including an incredible reproduction of Las Vegas with trams. Sorry if I'm babbling but this layout is just incredible!! Or is it just me? [:D]
