A bit more than a model village

[garrymartin]

Apologies if this has been posted before .
I wonder how many staff are employed just to keep things working , let alone model all the buildings. Their is a link to part 2 as well.

That's fantastic. I particularly liked the dancing crowd at the music festival.

Shame about the over-scale ducks though.

Incredibly high standard of modelling!!
I'm wondering if the vehicles (and planes at the airport) like this one ......

PS - Although I've posted links to this series of Miniatur Wunderland videos before, I still find the way they use the Faller system to animate the aircraft and service vehicles at the model airport fascinating.

Here's just a glimpse

I'm getting strange looks from the wife as I'm sitting here laughing away watching that plane go on it's on little way with the cars crashing into it.

I like the way he takes it all very seriously and patiently. That's presumably why he has the job and someone like me doesn't.

Had two 6 month 'postings' to the Nederlands in Eindhoven, during the 90's, but I never got around to visiting Madurodam.

Wonder what scale the trains and trams are built to? The buildings are 1:25 scale.

Track looks like it could be 63 mm....
