It is a wonderful miniature world of 535 square meters built in HO scale, near the Rotterdam Central Station. There are beautiful Dutch landscapes, Dutch trains and numerous scenes of Dutch lifestyle. Almost 200 square meters represent a miniature version of the city of Rotterdam with it's modern and historic architecture. There are the most famous and special buildings of Rotterdam, for example the Erasmusbridge, the Hotel New York, the new Rotterdam Central Station. And, the port of Rotterdam, one of the largest ports in world, is integrated in this model railway layout. There are the Shipyard IHC Merwede, the big container terminal Maasvlakte, and the RSC Rail Service Center. Almost all types of terminals that are to be found in the port of Rotterdam are built in HO scale, too. Off course, the Dutch coast and polder landscape is an integral part of this miniature world. There are numerous dikes, channels, canals, windmills, pumping station and locks. Every 24 minutes night falls in with beautiful evening- and morning colors generated by dimming the lights in the whole exhibition hall. At night, thousands of miniature bulbs light up the model buildings, trains, cars and ships. Finally, it's hard to describe this amazing atmosphere with words. This was the reason for this picture book. Please, discover and look closely to this miniature world with more than 200 photos.
