More than a million people visit the quirky, high-tech and massive Miniatur Wunderland — the world's largest, tiniest-scale model railway exhibit — in Hamburg, Germany each year, but now you can do it all from the comfort of your own computer.

Google Maps has added Street View to the intricate exhibit, which features 8 miles of railway tracks and follow 900 trains each day. While model trains may not typically be your thing, stay with us. You're about to geek out.
I would love to go see this exhibit some time. Got to see the railway exhibit in Munich while I was there for work back in the mid 00's, and that was great... but not NEAR as vast. I'm a big fan of model trains...one day I'll dedicate a space and start bringing out the boxed up HO trains.

I've seen a long Youtube video of nothing but that model airport. Planes take off and land, taxi to the terminal, tugs move aircraft around, they get refueled, etc. It is absolutely amazing.
