This is amazing ... even more so if you like model trains. May have shown it one other time, but, it's been updated and so I hope you enjoy it.

My kiddo on the spectrum who I tutor, is all about trains. Will have to send that to his folks.

That was pretty cool! I've never really been one to get into large displays with train sets, but I do appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail that there is. Quite an amazing job.

Especially at 1:06. Very nice.

^^^^ You mean the couple making love in the field; topless gal on the beach; and the prostitute in the window. Nope. Never saw them. :)

Me, too! Maybe if I win the lottery my wife and I will fly over to Hamburg and go see this. Not many model train layouts have almost 14km of track.

I wonder how they keep the tracks all clean.

And the van rocking while a guy was standing outside with a video camera? I never saw that either. :p

He could just say, "That's what real Pixies do whenever they can." Then change the subject to that train coming around the mountain. :shrug:

Another update. I was checking this out on youTube when we were at our daughter's home today and found that there are sites devoted to the train layouts trains, planes and ship traffic. Each is really good. One of the overview presentations is almost an hour long. The one on the airport is really neat, too. In fact these and several of the others are quite good. Made me smile that's for sure. :)
