As of 2019, the total length of 15,715 meters (51,558 ft) therefore corresponded to 1,367.21 kilometres (849.54 mi) in real length, making Miniatur Wunderland the largest model railway layout in the world by all measures. [13] In 2020, a bridge connected the original Wunderland to a building across the canal. [14]
The original Minories layout was 1 by 7 feet (0.3 m × 2.1 m) in size, with the fiddle yard additional to this. It folded in half lengthwise, using a removable girder road bridge to hide the hinges.
