Miniatur Wunderland
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

My train set never looked like this. Obviously, this should be the replacement Disney should put in Germany...

Excellent. I hope Pippi Longstocking is in her proper place (Scandinavia).
I thought the Grand Canyon trains the funniest part -- on googling, it seems America is represented by The Florida Keys, Cape Canaveral, Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Mount Rushmore and Yosemite Park. Terrific.

Re: Miniatur Wunderland
Wow! That is incredible.
Even better, anytime someone accuses me of having too much time on my hands, I can point to this and look good in comparison!

Now that I think on it, the choices for Miniaur Wunderland are a definite improvement on
