Prepare to be Astounded and Amazed!
The World Record Train has eight locomotives, 360 metres of track and two thousand two hundred and twelve wagons!!! (If I read correctly).
This is the ONLY thing football stadia should be used for.

(I hope I got everything right, my German isn't very good.)

Joe,

Yep, and to make up (at least partially) for the cost, we sell the wagons of the train in our online shop on a "first come-first serve" basis.

That will still get alot of money Back for you though although not as much as it cost to buy them all in the first place but then you have broke a world record! Well Done you.

Thanks!
I have more good news for you: The weekly reports documenting the history of the layout have been updated today: Now, the years 2008 back to 2004 are online to be viewed. But beware: These reports are addictive ! I strongly recommend a broadband connection. Go to
http://www.miniatur-wunderland.com,
then select "Exhibit -> Weekly Reports" from the menu at the left.

Currently, I'm working on an english online shop. Keep your fingers crossed that I can work continously on it...

Erhard

I see the video is in English now. I thought it was only German before. But I could be losing my mind.

@pol: Many of the videos now get subtitles or are re-done in English language, mainly to attract more traffic to our English pages...

@ba4472:
Yeah that would be a ball, err, dream! Just imagine 6 Big Boys pulling more than 700 freight cars...

Six Big Boys in N scale would be 5 foot long, nearly as long as I'm tall.
