They have just arrested a fully functional formula 1 racetrack with AI controlled cars actually racing. And of all racetracks they could have picked for that project, they chose Monaco.
My brain was breaking on the black line creeping ahead in blocks of fixed size until I realized there had to be panels getting folded away under the runway to make way for the rail, so a gap was only visible while planes passed.
The Falcon uses the airport just like all other aircrafts you see there, they also have the space shuttle. Every plane is programmed with it's own technically correct starting and landing angles as well. That place is marvelous!
The german language has produced the phrase, "Punctual as the federal railway." Which is hilarious, because the federal railway is primarily known for being notoriously late. The phrase must have originated in a time before neoliberalism and the glorious idea to turn the public german railway into a profit oriented semi-public-semi-private frankenstein, because it is not meant ironically.
Also very social towards people in need. They have actions for poorer families where those can visit for free. So if you can give a bit extra do that, so they can keep that up, might be nice.
It has died down a lot now, but one generation back, Germany was miniature railroad center of the world. For some reason. This place is a relic of that time. And still keeps growing and is being tinkered with for decades now.

None of the people who built this have ever assaulted a woman, stolen anything, committed fraud or cheated on their tax returns.

That's some precision flying though.... almost like they're on rails.

What is this — an airport for ANTS?!?

Miniatur Wunderland is total sensory overload. If you're ever in Hamburg, do go.

Ooh! The Millenium Falcon!

#3 @0:04 - And the Millennium Falcon just casually parked on the tarmac.

"It can hardly be a coincidence that no language on Earth has ever produced the phrase, "as pretty as an airport.".

Highly recommend to visit, they also have a very good YouTube channel

actions = special events or sessions, I'm guessing?
swedeonamoose
Why am i not surprised at all it is in Germany.

charondaboatman
That’s a huge layout. All you need now is a rail yard and train connection. Nifty. +1
mercyPandaRunner
That's exactly what it has. The towns and landscapes the train goes to are in the next rooms.
alphanius
My guess would be this is in the Miniaturwunderland in Hamburg, so there is pretty much also roads and trains and stuff around
mrputter
Would make sense, seeing as how that's Hamburg Airport being represented...
ritsbits808
They have scale models of a ton of cities around the world and they have continued to expand
ironymus
Yup it is. The world's largest model railway in Hamburg, Germany
ziralien
One of these planes is not like the other.
PotOfJam
It's the only one in the video that will get you to Kessle in 13 parsecs...

Hahahahaha a casual Millennium Falcon..
WarlockSniper
It is a heap of junk!

I was surprised to see a DC 4 as well.
ScottBugVillain
Why does it have a boarding stairs?…

I'm glad you mentioned it.

What a hunk of junk!

She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts.
alwaysupvotefuturama
You mean the actually flightless Boeing?
ks360
This is not the plane you're looking for (waves hand in Jedi)
ToasterDent
Yeah that blue nosed-Douglas DC-4 at 0:08 (countdown till end time) stands out because it's a propeller-driven aircraft, not a jet driven one!
iMcFly
DrKonrad
I am glad they also make it fly
agonarch
They should put the stairs on those round bits at the side though (docking collar)
zaqx
Where is the sound? I want to know if they got it right
