A short review, it was started by two brothers as a place to show their
hobby began to grow by leaps & bounds. Soon they were joined by other
'Model Railroad Clubs' and other craftsmen. Some were electricians,
model makers, carpenters,computer programmers. Their wives would stop by
to see what they were doing and usually bring them a lunch.




One thing led to another. Three of the ladies had worked at a bakery,
several visitors would ask if they had a snack bar. The idea was
planted; some of the carpenters came and built a nice restaurant area
for the bakery and a kitchen, too. If the fresh coffee smell didn't get
you, then the bakery definitely would.
Over 400,000 man hours were spent making this dream come true.




This was about 5 years ago. One of the breweries came and furnished all
of the tables and chairs, serving counte, etc. Their latest finished
area is the airport.

Planes look like they are flying and landing. GERMAN WONDERLAND IN

Unreal. Thanks for posting this. I have a cousin who has been into
miniature railroads for all his life. I forwarded the URL to him.

Looks like the Germans decided to outdo Holland's 'Madurodam'.

Rotterdam has a nice train layout also, but it's been outdone by the Germans.
