The coolest model train layout I've ever seen. You'll be amazed at how intricate and elaborate this thing is. Everywhere you look, you'll see something interesting and unusual. The amount of technology, craftsmanship, and attention to detail that went into designing Miniversum is mind-blowing. Even if you're not into model trains, you'll find something cool to marvel at around every corner. ★19 MINUTES ON FOOT/ 12 minutes by the yellow metro or the bus nr 105★
