If you are anywhere near Hamburg, this is a "must visit" location. It can easily take an entire day to see the entire facility. Take a personal tour (if you can) and see it all "behind the scenes"... So many nice memories of this place.

      The Cars and Planes follow a Steel Wire hidden "underground". The Front Wheels are steered by a Magnet. For Cars, this System is commercially available as "Faller Car System" in Scale H0 and N. The Planes are completely DIY. On the Taxiways, they operate just like Cars, and are loaded onto a Sled on the Runway. They are held by two Metal Poles, that can be extrnded individually, to create a realistic Illusion of Takeoff and Landing.

    Great video, thanks. How about the same scale model of Thunderbirds and Tracy Island. And....., Space: 1999 Moonbase Alpha.
