The gentlemen who run this club are knowledgeable and polite, they were more than happy to discuss anything, including local lore. The layout is interesting and can keep you entertained for hours. Please feel free to stop by and engage with the members and look at the fine detail

Well that was definitely interesting! I havent ever been to anything like this before so this was for sure interesting and unique. Tons of work goes into designing all of these displays and it certainly shows! Everyone appears to be very proud to show off what they made, how they designed their tracks, where little things were hidden around the displays.. Glad I went!

This was simply a wonderful layout and a great way to spend some time with kids. There are multiple layouts with many operating trains. They turned out the lights and let us see the trains run with their head lights which was a real treat! The level of detail and interaction points kept us engrossed and engaged for an hour and we could have stayed for longer but they were closing.

If you like trains, you will love this exhibit. They have multiple scales/sizes. The guys on site love to talk and are happy to share and answer questions. Admission is free, but any donation is greatly appreciated. Great way to kill some time and entertain kids (or adults). The exhibits give you items to locate. (e.g. Can you spot the wedding party? Do you see the hobo at the campfire?)

My children, my husband and I all loved it. The gentleman who keep this place up and running really deserve a sponsor or something because you can see their passion for it and the way their eys light up when people come in and enjoy themselves, especially children. If we could sponsor this Museum we would.

Awesome place. Knowledgeable and friendly staff who are providing entertainment and RR education for all ages. The facility survives off donations, so please be generous.

Review №38

Outstanding detail of working model trains in many sizes located within mini-cities. The caretakers and creators are Veterans who sponsor many Veteran functions at their facility all year long. No cost. Donations only pay the rent. Located in a non-descript mall. The largest model railroad in the U.S. if not the world, located in a room probably 6,000 square feet in size and layout. Truly amazing and more than worth the visit!

Amazing place. If you love trains or have kids who love trains, this place is a must visit. I have 2-year-old son enthralled with trains and Thomas the tank engine. He about lost his mind with the Thomas exhibit. They have interactive train sets where you can start trains, trolleys, dinosaurs, and UFOs.The store is run by hobbyist with amazing passion and attention to detail. These guys know the history of train technology and commerce and are a wealth of knowledge. This place is great!
