Miniatur Wunderland as H0 Mikroland in 1:87 at MVG Museum model railway exhibition 2024 - interview

In this interview, Erwin Kohout shows and explains to me his fascinatingly detailed replica of the “Miniatur Wunderland” from Hamburg in the H0 model railway scale of 1 to 87. The 1 to 87 railways, buildings and more that can be seen in his “Mikroland” have a tiny scale of approx. 1 in 7569. This slightly different model railway system was one of the highlights at the 12th model railway exhibition in the MVG Munich Museum of the Munich Transport Company, which took place on March 16th and 17th, 2024. In the first part of the video there is a macro shot stroll through the extensive miniaturized Miniatur Wunderland "shrunked" by Erwin Kohout. At around 10 minutes 40 seconds you can see a few other Mikroland dioramas on a scale of 1 to 22.5 and one on a scale of 1 to 87.
