LOVED it!! Their ship system is fantastic as well; everyone should look up "Miniatur Wunderland" on Youtube if they have a good 45 minutes to kill watching these videos! (Their railroads aren't half bad either haha)
In the 1980's, I was known for having the worlds largest private toy airplane collection, I was West Coast USA Editor for a toy airplane magazine called "PLANE NEWS". I had over 2600 die cast airplane toys and models of all sizes. When I saw these videos about the miniature mechanical airport it really brought back memories of some of my expensive and very detailed airliners in my collection. This is nothing short of total amazement for me. fatalxsunrider43
thats stinkin amazing how they got the runway to open and close to the mechanism when the airplane lands!!! love the panning of their cam too! how about this one? moving train models PSSHHHTTT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWL246vXxcs haha anyways thats not a layout, i digress
The videos on this play list talk about how the whole thing works. Though spoken in German, there's an interactive transcript in English. Incredibly high tech!! :airplane: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAQFRjdzKnk
I didn't get the English bit working so I just watched a bunch of videos in German, and still loved it! Thanks for sharing! I'm going to need a bigger hobby room!
Amazing!! I recall about a year ago on the site they were talking about that addition was coming; they sure surpassed my expectations. Thanks for the share
I usually get nothing but hassles when sharing my opinion, so I am very thrilled you guys REALLY liked this post, hoo-ray !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fatalxsunrider43
Yes, I think as Model Rail Roaders we have now been humbled by Model Aircraft and in a big way. Although, the average person could no way do this type of airport at their home, Model Rail Road is more attainable for the common person. Still very humbling. I believe the Germans are brilliant when it come to things like this. fatalxsunrider43
well model airports for sure. but you should see the pre-manufactured model aircraft available nowadays, they are jokes compared to the detail and precision of pre manufactured off the shelf trains.
