Blood Sweat & Tears Railroad

Minatur Wunderland, located in Hamburg Germany, is one of the worlds largest model railway installations.  With over 1,000 trains and 15,000 pieces of rolling stock, 150,000 trees, 150,000 figures, 5,000 cars, 30,000 feet of track, 5,000 houses and countless bridges, Minatur Wunderland is a visual feast for the most seasoned modeller.  With thematically based rooms, spanning several continents and seasons, the railway is an animatronic marvel with hundreds of moving cars, fully lit structures and small vignettes - all captured in the light of the day which cycles from dawn to dusk every 30 minutes.

The keepers of the Minatur Wunderland are constantly improving their website, which now has extensive galleries of images, showcasing finished scenes as well as construction photos.  Granted, the site is a bit buggy at times, and the English translations are not yet complete, but the galleries in the German portion are outstanding.
