Miniatur Wunderland Guestbook

My son will be visiting Germany this summer. I found your site from a friend's email. I am forwarding it to my son.

What scale is the railroad (gauge) done in?
I saw that it's 1:87, but what about the tracks?
Is it HO, TT, N, or a mixture of gauges?
(I still have my 35+ year old TT trains my family brought from Germany).

I think the forum and the main website could use an FAQ about the exhibit itself.

Comment: We ´re building in 1:87 whitch means H0 gauge but also use H0e for some tracks...

Ich liebe Modelleisenbahnen. Ich bringe meine Kinder hier, wenn wir Besuch Hamburg Deutschland.

The video was very interesting, but for the first 2 minutes every few seconds it would pause and show that it was connecting to the site. Hard to follow the narrative that way.

I got a post including your video. How wonderful this is. I don't think I will ever be able to see it in person. How can I get the English version? Want to send on to many friends.

I bought my son Marklin trains, when he was little. Is that what your trains are, Marklin? His had the pantagraph overhead. Just magnificent. So accurate, cute. Thank you for bringing us such joy. JC

Great exhibition.
We will come again next year.

We got a e-mail from a friend. We were in Hamburg last year but unfortunately we did not know about.
It is fantastic. Keep up the good work.
Many greetings from Florida, USA

Friday, May 22, 2009. My friends and me from LMTC (Leuvense Model-Trein-Club) from Leuven in Belgium, were visiting MiWoLa for the first time. It was really out of our expections what we saw. The beautifull landscapes, especially those of Switserland, the Harz and Narvik were very nice. Also the others. We also visited the exhibtion behind the stage. Its really a technical miracle that so many tains trains and cars are driving perfectly without problems. Also the Scandinavian harbour and the beach is a masterpiece of technological fantasy. Congratuliations to the MiWoLa-team. It was a very nice and interesting day. We will come back to see the exhibition growing.

Fantastic.

How beautiful! It is a pity I cannot travel by air to see it, so I will be content with the videos. I commend your innovation and enthusiasm.

For the benefit of young people I would comment that this sort of thing would have been impossibly uneconomical to maintain just a decade or two ago, especially concerning the lighting which would have been by regular lamps burning out frequently. Additionally, the computers available then to control this project would have filled a very large room, not counting the control consoles and computer displays, and the power and dedicated air conditioning would have been impractical considering the 10E price charged for admission today. The moving models would also have been far larger due to the electronics size of times past. So, behind the beauty of this Wunderland is also another wonder of progress in technology.

Hi,

I’m planning to visit Miniatur-Wunderland as soon as possible, browsing internet I discovered your site….It’s terrific (in a good sense) for the layout, the solutions, the technology and not the least, the idea how it’s implemented, the human value into the people working at Miniatur-Wunderland
Bravi!!!

Great Train Show

I am very impressed with this exhibit. I plan to visit Germany in about 4 or 5 years and would like to come and visit in person. I wish the USA had such a wonderful miniature railroad exhibit.

Comment: You´re welcome ;-)

I love this railroad, and used some of the towns mountains ect for my own train.

found out about you on YouTube and intend to visit next time I'm in Europe

Ich und meine Frau haben das Wunderland letze Dienstag besuchen. Das war Meine zweite besuch, denn Ich hab euer wunderschone austellung erst im 2003 angesehen und war vollig uberrascht! Dies mal waren Wir noch mehr begeistert, besonders von alle die drollige, Menschliche geschichte die Sich ausspeilen. Rente Mit 30 war sehr lustig!

Mach's weiter und immer besser!

I heard of you through a friend from a email-you tube. It was amazing to see the miniatur wunterland virtural tour.

Hey, i think that it look really cool, i also have a modeltrain, but it can't drive it now, because it's "broken right now, but in det summer i will try to made my own landshape whit trains and nice landshabes.. on a scale from 1-10, i will give you a BIG 10 for what you have made, what is the adress to you, so i maybe can visit you, i live in Denmark...

I love your excellent layout! The amount of detail is just jaw-dropping! However, I do have to say, coming from the US and visiting Las Vegas many times before, your America section seems to be a little less detailed and a bit off in the vehicles used. Nevertheless, I hope to see this marvelous work someday!
