> growing to 1500 sq.m this year
length of tracks (in HO): 7 km (planned 15 km)
The statistic on the length of track at Northlandz just seems wrong, by about a scale of ten.
locomotives (trains): 550 (planned more than 1000)
That certainly beats Northlandz.
cars: 7400 (planned 12000)
A little less than presently at Northlandz, with plans to grow to a little more than them.
total cost: 4000000 euro (planned 8000000)
$5 million dollars (planned $10 million). WOW!
