Madurodam miniature attraction, Netherlands - 1:25 scale ships, planes, trains and vehicles

[Brian Austin]

This video is by a company that produces similar ones of model railroad layouts in various scales around the world.  Note the animated vehicles.  Just about everything is built from scratch at the park.

DAF car carrier shown here in 1961.  I wonder if those are plastic promo model cars, baking in the sun.

I used to live down the road from Madurodam in Den Haag, and I have visited it on multiple occasions. It is a cool place for sure. A miniature city, including the most famous Dutch landmarks, which you can walk through, with millions of movable features, including vehicles. The interesting thing is that I’ve slways had the feeling it was slightly larger than 1/25, but according to most all sources that scale certainly seems to be correct. Either way, it’s a model builder’s fantasy.
