Tiny world: No, this isn't a real airport -- it's a tiny working model. Welcome to Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg, Germany, the largest model railway and model airport in the world.

Family affair: The German attraction is run by two brothers, Frederik and Gerrit Braun, who say they've loved model railways since childhood.

Railway tracks: Miniatur Wunderland, located in an old warehouse building in Hamburg, Germany, is lined with railway tracks which bring the attraction to life.

Hard work: Most of the mini landscapes are only loosely based on reality, but the airport is an accurate, scaled-down recreation of Hamburg Airport.

Team effort: A team of model builders and technicians helps keep Miniatur Wunderland alive.

Big numbers: Miniatur Wunderland has around 4,340 buildings and 289,000 figures.

Changing landscape: As well as the airport, there are also boats, bridges and mountains to admire.

Beloved attraction: Miniatur Wunderland has proved very popular and stays open until 1.a.m. on certain days in the summer months.
