Of course many of us have had our train set in childhood. I myself had a Marklin and enjoyed it until 11 or 12. After that, of course the usual suspects started to become more important in life and that many years later my interests sounded more like ‘girls, booze and parties’ than Marklin could phonetically be twisted.

Still, there are enough of nerds out there who have given hope to get laid up and try to spend their time positively. Constructively.

Finding a cure for cancer? Screw dat, let’s build a model train set.

Cars and lights.

How about some trains?

But most of all, you’ll need a really big location for your train set.

For numbers and more pictures head over to the Telegraph but let me tell you 700 trains, more than 10.000 carriages, expected to be finished in 2014, fourteen years and 13 miles of railroad track after starting the project. The largest train is 47ft.
