Hmm, I've killed far too much money on model cars, but I think I'll have to draw the line here, but they are lovely models!

Similar small scale goodness right here...I remember reading a National Geographic article on this dollhouse many years ago.
Along with the miniature (but real) books by famous authors of the time, the working toilets, and other fittings, down in the basement garage are cars and motorbikes. These all have engines which run.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Mary's_Dolls'_House

Here's a pic of the garage...but it's well worth looking it up to check out the staggering level of detail in everything else...



And looking at that picture you have to remember that each and every one of those books in that library are real printed and bound miniatures...

Wow, very cool. Makes my $1000 icon phase 3 look like a revell snap kit
