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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.

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

That was great, thank you!

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

What is this — an airport for ANTS?!?

Ooh! The Millenium Falcon!

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.

Miniatur-Wunderland in the Speicherstadt in Hamburg/Germany.

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

Why am i not surprised at all it is in Germany.

titoitoi
actions = special events or sessions, I'm guessing?
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
ironymus
Yup it is. The world's largest model railway in Hamburg, Germany
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

One of these planes is not like the other.

Why does it have a boarding stairs?…

It is a heap of junk!

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!

It's the only one in the video that will get you to Kessle in 13 parsecs...

Yeah, that bright yellow one looks silly

I was surprised to see a DC 4 as well.

Where is the sound? I want to know if they got it right
DrKonrad
I am glad they also make it fly

They should put the stairs on those round bits at the side though (docking collar)
