Trainz would choke to death

[SuperFudd]

I know this German HO layout has been mentioned before but it has been a while. I suspect many of us are unaware of it. It is so HUGE, Trainz could not even begin to duplicate it.

Oh yes, the big, bad and fabulous!
I love that layout, very well detailed and some incredible people behind it.
Good to see it again, I haven't seen it since that issue of Model Railroader magazine a few years back.
Thanks much!

That's really impressive, but I'd sure hate to be the guy who has to dust it.

If I ever travel over there, that would be one of the places I'd visit....

I often wonder who and how they keep all the track clean so the trains run smoothly. On my small HO layout dirty track was always a problem.

I, too, wondered what sort of effort maintenance would take so I emailed them. They sent a link to the following youtube. Be sure to enable the CC, which has English subtitles.

Short answer, sweat, contortions, and elbow grease.

That'd be fun though. Maybe I should save up for a train ride to Hamburg and have a peek there.

They have a lot of track to clean.

There is also this place in Holland that has a very nice layout. It is Maduradom. Do a Web Search to see it.
