With 7 miles of tracks in an area of over 16,000 sq ft, 200,000 people, 4,000 cars, 800 buildings, it features 6 geographic regions including America. It's a work in progress (!) with a goal of more than 13 miles of tracks. The builders have already clocked in more than 500,000 hours of work.

This is absolutely brilliant! Christophe, you rock! I've never really seen anything so detailed and fun, although the dead body in the river was...nevermind I loved that, too. 8) Airport coming soon? Awesome.

Not World's largest. Northlandz in Flemington, NJ, USA has over 8 miles (12.8 km) of operating track. Also has 3 story mountains and 40 foot bridges. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zR4AKtjv_w
