Have you seen or visited the Miniatur Wunderland?

Imagine seeing this in Trainz! That would definitely be a Wonderland. :)

No, I havent, even though its in the town I live in.

More a fan of this layout in town: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rf7sF9RDwb0 (till 9:03).
It follows a different approach in depicting a location that actually excisted and I prefer that over a show-layout.

But one can visit both without bad conscience, I guess. Along with the 100s of other nice things Hamburg has to offer.

This may not be as elaborate as Minuatur Wonderland, but this is much closer to me. It's called Charlemagne's Kingdom, located in the German-themed town of Helen, Georgia. Yes that's right, the whole town is made to look like a German town has been transplanted from Germany to northern Georgia. I've been to it only once, but it was a long time ago.
Here's a link to the website:

And here's a homemade video of the layout:
 
I've seen a show called Tracks Ahead talk about this layout. The technology they use on their layout is both impressive and highly technology advanced
 
Yes I have visited Miniatur Wunderland and it was great. It's so large you almost need to visit twice. I like the airport they made.

Miniworld Rotterdam.

Their Dutch counterpart:

Railz Miniworld Rotterdam.
Not nearly as big as Wonderland, but still fascinating. Conveniently located at a 3 minute walk away from Rotterdam Central Station, the Netherlands (about half an hour by train from the national airport).

Click to expand...

I live literary about 15 minutes walking from this great lay out. Also very recommendable when you visit Rotterdam :). They are making an England and Scotland expansion at the moment. :).
 
What was fascinating about the Russian giant one was that even wee things like chickens fluttered about, etc.
 
Google Streetview is now available for the Minature Wunderland!
