Incredible World’s Largest Model Railway “Miniature Wonderland”
Miniature wonderland is the largest model railway in the world and also the most successful permanent exhibitions. The miniature wonderland started growing in 2001 and is continuing to do so. At first, the layout spanned Switzerland, Australia, America, Scandinavia and Southern Germany but continuous additions will be made in coming years.
Landscape
The miniature wonderland is an incredibly detailed treat with a massive landscapes and surface area encompassing LEDs as well. Gerrit Braun and his team of the model makers are responsible for the wonderland have custom designed the entire structure.
Rail Tracks
Most of the track pieces are flex track and the turn outs are made slim to ensure smooth running of the trains. The Hamburg section has the original roadbed for the U-bahn, light railway for the S-bahn and the trams.
Control Room
Looks like a government spy agency or something, wow! Digital control synchronizes all the engines and this track can carry trains 50 feet in length. In the Australian Alps, the HO scale track is used with original turnout motors, digital control and polarity.

Shouldn’t that read AUSTRIA and AUSTRIAN ALPS not Australia. Makes more sense considering the areas mentioned.
