If you get a chance to visit a giant miniature railway like this, do so. They are marvelously complicated pieces of machinery combined with hand crafted works of art to build the city and scenery on top. And if you get a chance to peek in the control room to see what makes these things tick, take it. I took a peek to a control room of a much smaller railway set than the one in the article and it was impressive. About a few dozen monitors that display the entire track network and every train and vehicle on the tracks. The railway I visited was in Berlin, on the top floor of a mall in Alexanderplatz. It's the biggest miniature railway I've ever seen, but it's smaller than the one in the article.
