BERLIN, GERMANY - APRIL 19: A model of Air Force One, complete with red carpet and a marching band, glows at the airport of the LOXX miniature train landscape at the Alexa shopping mall on April 19, 2012 in Berlin, Germany. The LOXX landscape recreates in 1:87 scale landmarks of central Berlin as well as a myriad of often humorous little scenes of everyday life. According to a company employee the landscape covers 1,100 square meters, contains 200,000 lights, 90,000 human figures, 5,800 meters of model train track, a model airport and has 150 trains running at any one time. It also has coloured ceiling lights that dim and change to imitate twilight, nighttime and dawn, as well as sound effects to imitate an occasional thunder storm. LOXX technicians are currently expanding the landscape in order to also recreate Potsdamer Platz. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
