Some quick info:
This is the world's biggest train set which covers 1,150 square meters (12,380 square feet), features almost six miles of track and is still not complete
Twin brothers Frederick and Gerrit Braun, 41, began work on the 'Miniatur Wunderland' in 2000
The set covers six regions including America , Switzerland , Scandinavia , Germany and the Austrian Alps
The American section features giant models of the Rocky Mountains, Everglades, Grand Canyon and Mount Rushmore
The Swiss section has a mini-Matterhorn
The Scandinavian part has a 4ft long passenger ship floating in a 'fjord'
It is expected to be finished in 2014, when the train set will cover more than 1,800 square meters (19, 376 sq ft) and feature almost 13 miles of track, by which time detailed models of parts of France, Italy and the UK will have been added
It comprises 700 trains with more than 10,000 carriages and wagons
The 250,000 lights are rigged up to a system which mimics night and day by automatically turning them on and off
The whole system is controlled from a massive high-tech nerve centre
