I saw a mention on the local news and am searching for a video, I thought they mentioned Hamburg, Germany?

I read model railroader, they did an article on that place a couple of years ago
pretty cool
Even the model cars drive themselves up the roads

But I do think that there are longer ones privately owned in America

Yeah, that's here. I haven't been there. I'm more looking for a pinball wonderland in my near.:)

That's really cool. Back in the early 50s my older brother made a model railroad display in our attic. He had a full gauge Linonel set, and using chicken wire which he covered with strips of newspaper soaked in flour, he made a mountain village. He had the train go through a couple tunnels, and used a broken mirror painted blue for a lake. Since I was only 5 or 6 when he started, I wasn't even allowed to get within 10 feet of the display.

A few weeks after he finally let me run the trains, we moved to the suburbs, and besides not having enough room for a train layout, I also wasn't artsy fartsy enough to be able to make a display anywhere as neat as his had been. Thanks for the memory.

Independant from private ones existing somewhere in the world you never see, I think it's worth to give this a visit, if you are here. Very detailled rebuild scenes of Hamburg and other places. I'm not a fan of railway / railroad, but I would love to see.

Just look around on the pages, you will find many pics and also panorama pics.

New ( 13.07.2005 ) is Skandinavia.

For this and other information about Hamburg have a look here, many languages available: http://international.hamburg.de/index/1,2709,JGdlbz0zJA__,00.html

Talking about a pinball table named similar an arcade game from 1983, smiling pirate, or what ?

Not before some beta test for John, I think. I'm in delay with that already.

Now I watch "The Abyss" on tv.
