On August 17, 2006 the new film Superman Returns appeared in Germany in theaters. What makes the movie so special from a Märklin point of view is the large Märklin layout, 14 by 14 meters / 46 feet x 46 feet, which covers one of the central themes of the movie. The struggle between Superman and Lex Luther also takes place in miniature on the layout. The remarkable thing is that the layout was built in two scales - H0 and 1 Gauge. This made it possible to have all kinds of film perspectives. All sorts of different trains run on 280 meters / 918 feet of track in both gauges and with 21 power circuits. |
