WHO OWNS THE LARGEST
MODEL RAILROAD LAYOUT?
Have you ever wondered who owns the largest model railroad layout? Do you know how big the largest model railroad layout is? Luckily, the Guinness Book of World Records can answer these questions. Located in the Speicherstadt district in Hamburg, Germany, Miniatur Wunderland (German for 'miniature wonderland') holds the record for the largest model railway. As of December 2021, the HO scale railway consisted of 16,138 m (52,946 ft) of track and is divided into nine sections: Harz mountains, the Alps and Austria, the fictitious town of Knuffingen, Scandanavia, America, Switzerland, Hamburg, a replica of the Hamburg Airport, Italy and South America. The layout won't stop there as there are plans to create sections for Central America and the Caribbean, Asia, England, Africa, and the Netherlands.
