They're not mucking about, those Germans, are they?

See, that's why their nation is doing a lot better than ours right now, cos if they do a job, they do it properly, whereas Brits are lazy half-arsed slackers who can't be bothered putting in much effort.

I thought the pics were actually of a real place.

Love the little touches like the rocking campervayn, the prostitute in the brothel window and the gatso cam! 😀

Brilliant. Makes me want to go there to see it for real.

Mini mugsy loves the video they bought of the place.

Saw it at the beginning of this year when the airport was in development.... truely awesome engineering. The control/command centre for the place has about 40 screens and 3 people looking after it all the time.
The detail is amazing, even if you are not into model railways etc (which I am not) then you still have to see it to appreciate it 8)

I want one!

Interesting they'll be adding a British section (among others).

It should be easy enough to get it accurately. Cone off all the roads with roadworks so no model cars. Cancel all the trains or wrong kind of leaves/snow so no rolling stock.

The two brothers who own this were on James May's hornby railway programme, would love to visit.

I was going to comment earlier, but I was too boyishly giddy to type properly. I very nearly ran around the office making "Choo choo" noises.

I'm now going to make sure I get on the next job we have in Hamburg.
I've been before but then all it had to offer were the Reeperbahn and a lot of pipe shops.

Or they just get forced labour from invaded countries and work them to death in Camps?

Oh right, I was not aware that's a common practice in Germany in 2011. Silly me.

That reminds me; must remember to get some sugar....
