Miniatur Wunderland, The Largest Railroad Miniature
84To complete my interest with miniature. I presented this hub to all of you. Just remind you again about my passion with miniature. I had write three hub about miniature. I think this hub is still related with my last hub about miniature. Why I like miniature so much, because from the small shape it represent the big one. Using certain scale with a high level of complexity. Miniature is one of a masterpiece from talented person or talented people. As our interest in certain objects and in this case it made in small object and very detailed. Even it looks like an original object. High level of complexity in the manufacture of these miniature caused many people like, admire and even fascinated by the beauty of a miniature. they even give a big award. I personally do not blink while watching the beauty of a muniature. That's why a couples days ago I write my passion in miniature by writing in my hub. Only one reason to give my big appreciation something about miniature object.
Yesterday my friend told me about interesting place in Germany. There is a place we can see the wonderful miniature out there. He just give me a name and a little review inside this place. But I should give many thanks to him for this information. And my mind response quickly and I browse this information about this place by the internet as soon as possible.
Miniatur Wunderland, you stole my heart
I know the best miniature in the world is Madurodam. This is also as a tourism place, it located in in Scheveningen, The Hague, Netherlands. We can see wonderful miniature in this place. But I am totally wrong. Because there is another place which have wonderful miniature also. It called Miniatur Wunderland. This place located in Hamburg, Germany. We can found the largest railroad miniature. I told to you that train miniature also have a place in my heart. And miniature wunderland stole my heart too. I will give you a review about this place.
Miniature Wunderland review
Why I liked this place very much because the detail of the railroad miniature was amazing. It impressed me much. This came out directly from my mouth. This is the largest railroad miniature in the world. We can found hundred model of train in this place.
Created by two brothers Frederick and Gerrit Braun. Winderland miniatur was built since 2000. Using HO scale. With 11,840 square feet and fully computerized (controlled almost 40 computer). With total 800 trains, 4,000 automobiles, 165,000 tress and 250 individual lights, 200 camera control, using 5,6 miles of track (this is the record of miniature track), one train is 47,5 feet long, the number of mini people almost 200,000.
We can find the landmark of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, North America, Germany, Austria, Switzerland. Las Vegas, Rocky Mountains, and the Grand Canyon it can be found in the Highlights America section. All this beautiful miniature took 500,000 working hours. I think it need a big cost to operated all the miniature. And I got the information it need cost 8,7 million Euro in April 2007 with 4,000, 000 visitors. With 150 employees are working in this place. All the miniature also control using 170 computer controlled cars. We can also find the largest model of steam locomotive. It very rare model. I want to touch it directly.
Miniatur-Wunderland is divided into 7 main areas Harz area of 120 square meters, Knuffingen 120 square meters, alps / austria 60 square meters, hamburg 200 square meters, america 100 square meters, Scandinavia 300 square meters, and switzerland. And the management said there is a development planned until the year 2014. With the addition of new areas, such as the airport and the Italy zone including the layout and other dioramas.
This place is made with great detail very well equipped with the latest technology. Also equipped with a computer system to manage all train operations and other elements. Starting from the train line settings, sound, signaling systems, train speed, crossing system, as well as lamps and lighting.
With the entrance tickets price of €10 for adults seemed very appropriate to enjoy the beauty of the biggest railroad miniature.

I am glad to hear your opinion or you little story about this place. I hope this hub is useful for us as an formation and alternative for traveling place.

Why I like this collection, because we can find the different style in making of the city miniature. It represent the culture and the different building comes from various city.Very Talented Person in Building Miniature
I will never get bored to say that I love art. The beautiful of art came from various shape. An art not always a painting and sculpture but all the things which wonderful shape and we enjoy it, this one of the criteria of art. Now I'll write about another art shape. I think we all familiar with this name. "Miniature", something small but makes curious. Only people who have the sense of art and high patience can make a beautiful miniature.London Made By Fruits and Vegetables
I like performing arts. Like architecture, decoration, interior and exterior design, and another art. Food can be made become a beautiful art. We all know that fruit and vegetables have beautiful color. And those color is not artificial but real from nature. From fruit and vegetables we can create beautiful art.

You should come and visit England prasetio30, as we have lots of miniature villages and towns dotted around the country. You should check out the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway, which is a steam train service through the Lake District but the engines, carriages and tracks are much, much smaller than ordinary size trains
Thanks, CMHypno your brought happiness for us by giving useful information about a lot of miniatures in England. I am glad to know that. I really don't know about this information. And avenglass & Eskdale Railway makes me curious. I'll googling to find out more about this miniature. I think it looks more detailed and beautiful. Like you said before that these miniatures were smaller than ordinary size train. Wow...I can't wait to see about all this things. Thank you very much. I give big appreciation for your attention to this hub.

What a wonderful hub prasetio. It inspired me to check out more Wunderland videos! I was interested when you said there was more than just trains, cars and buildings - over 200,000 mini-people. I think you will also enjoy this video that offers a very funny look at the people of Wunderland too!

I have been to wunderland of Holland long time back in 1991. It was popular with people of all ages. You must see it yourslef, if you have not been to. Seeing is believing.
However, your hub gives enough material to envision what wunderland would look like. Thanks.
Thanks, Mr.hafeezrm. I agree with you that seeing is believing. I am glad you have come to this place. As a witness I thought you can told to us everything about Wunderland.

This is very interesting prasetio. I'm always amazed at the patience required to produce such miniatures and in such detail. On the weekend I bought some cute miniature dinosaurs that are hand painted. They are works of art! Thanks for your hub.
Good morning, travelespresso. Thanks for coming to this hub. I agree with you, we need patience to make such miniature in detail. I am glad you want to share your experience after bought some cute miniature dinosaurs. Good to see you again. ~prasetio
After Christmas, we always like to go around to visit train gardens but I have never seen the likes of this one. I had to call my husband into the room to look at these fabulous pictures. What an incredible garden. Prasetio, you always show us such wonderful pix and cool places. I love your hubs, they are like a gift!
Good evening, Dolores Monet. I am glad to share this for yous and your husband too. I hope your Christmas time always beautiful. Miniature Wunderland also caught my attention.

Amazing and I hope you can visit this place in person. Thank you very much for coming to this hub. Send my warm greeting to your husband. See you again. Cheers......
Blessing and hugs,
I love model trains and me and my old man had a few growing up. I never have had the chance to do a large collection, but I hope I can someday. Very awesome hub! Voted up. I can appreciate this cause this is a lot of work, especially something as big as this. It looks like the detail is great also. Very cool! Brother, be good and take care my friend.
My brother, Richard. Thanks for coming and share your big interest with kind of train models. I also love with this stuff. Unique and beautiful. I really appreciate your vote. I believe you'll have great train models someday. Have a good day!
Prasetio
Amazing hub and I will have to show this one to my partner who has his own train set which he's buying new bits for now and again.
Our main porblem about a bigger track would be the space to put it all together.
I vote this one up plus a bookmark.
Thank you so much for this gem presatio.
Thanks, Eiddwen for coming to this hub. I am glad you love this information and I hope your friend will love too. Of course you need a big space and bigger tracks to accommodate all train collections. By adding several items like railway station, a hill, river, it could be beautiful train route. I really appreciate your kindness to bookmark and vote this hub. God bless you!
