GERMAN WUNDERLAND....
Permalink  

 

Remember the two brothers, in Germany, who had a wonderful model railway that was something to see? This is an update for their German Wunderland. Enjoy. 

There have been little clips about this place for the past few years, it is still not finished but is growing to that conclusion as they will soon run out of space.  

A short review, it was started by two brothers as a place to show their hobby, it started growing by leaps & bounds. Soon they were joined by other 'Model Railroad Clubs' and other craftsmen. Some were electricians, model makers, Carpenters, computer programmers. Their wives would stop by to see what they were doing and usually bring them a lunch. One thing led to another. Three of the ladies had worked at a bakery. Several visitors would ask if they had a snack bar. The Idea was planted; some of the carpenters came and built a nice restaurant area for the bakery and a kitchen too. If the fresh Coffee smell didn't get you then the bakery definitely would.  

This was about 5 years ago. One of the Breweries came and furnished all of the tables and chairs, serving counter, etc.. Their latest finished area is the airport. Planes look like they are flying and landing.
