Cab ride on Mr. Porsche ‘s very large model train layout

Wow what a layout!
I'm sure he had some help building this.
There's a nice representation of the major German model railroad manufacturers here with the trains, track, and catenary supplied by Märklin, trees, grass, people, and autos by Preiser, and the bridges and structures by Faller.

And while we're on the topic of big German-themed layouts, here's a lesser-known one, though not on par with Mr. Porsche's layout: Charlemagne's Kingdom, in the Bavarian-themed town of Helen, Georgia.
Here's a video of it:

Forgive the quality of the videos, but this is a little-known place and attraction.

Thanks for sharing with us, the Porsche is unreal, can't imagine how many hands and time to create something that big and extensive, and the elaborate signal system too boot.

You're right he did
Being india, I really love this one http://www.indiarails.net/
Essentially a scaled down version of the line from Bombay to Dehli. Pretty cool imo.

Wow what a great layout, I would have liked to see an external view from the Train and then be able to gauge the overall size of the large area the layout is housed in !
Also get the overall view of the scenery.
My little Marklin Layout is dwarfed by it, I did see some of the same trains and carriages that I have including the ICE's.

Hey Norm, It is a wonderfully detailed layout. I did a Google search on 'Mr Porsche Train layout' and got several YouTube videos on how it was created. I also saw how they assembled the modules together. It's worth a look.
Cheers mate,

Apparently you missed that I posted all of those vids in this thread already? LOL
