VIDEO: Incredible German miniature wonderland

Back in August of 2012, Walt posted a YouTube video of an incredible miniature airport that actually works! Tiny planes land and take off, looking incredibly realistic.

This amazing feat of superb engineering is the latest creation of two German brothers, who started out with a model railway. Then, as you'll see from today's video, it grew like Topsy! Before long the brothers were joined by other model railroad clubs and other craftsmen -- electricians, model makers, carpenters, computer programmers.

Now the "Miniatur Wunderland" has a bakery, kitchen, and restaurant so visitors can have coffee and cake while admiring and examining the massive and complex layout. The challenge now is that, with the addition of the airport, the enthusiasts have just about run out of room.

Watch the video and prepare to be amazed. Running time is just under 5 minute and it's already had over 13 million hits on YouTube. Thanks to Agent 9 for passing this along.
