My grandfather always told me that the Germans were the best toy makers in the world.. Well... i guess he was right about that!! Thanks for the ride Ron.

All,I can say is WOW and thanks for the link

Awesome, thanks for sharing!  Any clue how the planes are rigged up to land/take off?

Thanks Ron for the inner works video link.

So how much is 3,000,000 Euros in U.S. Dollars?

I looked to see if there were any other behind the scene videos that explained in a little more detail about how everything worked mechanically.

I just didn't know what question to ask to bring up a video on how the whole Airport works mechanically. Did anybody else find one (in English)?

it could be a real kick to build a small private airport with a few single prop airplanes and maybe a crop dusters\ flying around doing the take off and landing thing.

Love to have the Red Barron chasing a flying dog house with snoopy at the stick.The kids in my town would love it.

Actually, Miniature Wonderland is the largest model railway in the world, and one of the most thriving tourist attractions in Germany. One million folks yearly visit to Miniature Wonderland to see how this amazing model fascinates tourists with its absolutely mind arresting design.

Sorry about that - that's from the Group's Website...Might as well get the link in here too!

1 million visitors a year at $10 per person...for a model railroad attraction...with 150 employees who model year round as a job... They're a very SMART group of model railroaders!!! ;)

I was going to post the URL in case it was not seen on the YouTube site by readers of this thread, but Benny beat me to it. I strongly recommend readers here go to that web site. There is a great deal of information on how it is made and operated. I posted last year a link to a similar site, Madurodam, in the Netherlands. Here is a link to my post from last year:
