315 additional meters of track extend the railway of the world’s largest model train layout to 15,715 meters | Wunderland receives another record title for the largest model railway across all scales
For many years, Miniatur Wunderland has officially held the title of the largest model railway in the world. With the addition of the new Monaco/Provence section, the layout has been extended by another 315 meters, further expanding its existing world record. The connection of the new railway section was celebrated on the morning of August 14, 2019, in front of the press and in the presence of Guinness World Records® adjudicator Lena Kuhlmann. With this expansion, Miniatur Wunderland has not only extended its own existing record from 15,400 meters to 15,715 meters but has also achieved another remarkable milestone:
There are model railways worldwide in many different scales. Some are built to be nearly lifelike, while others measure just a few millimeters. The common factor among all is their standardized scale, which relates them to the real world. With a newly calculated 1,367.21 kilometers of “real-world” length, Miniatur Wunderland can now officially claim the title of the largest model railway in the world across all scales.
