This place is a must see. Loved the little push buttons that made the displays come to life. Meeting and speaking with the owner was also a nice treat. The attention to detail and cleanliness of the display was outstanding. We plan to go back for sure.

The push buttons are such fun to watch as you never know what is going to happen. As you noticed lots and lots of fun little details to look for. We do a deep clean once a year or when a certain area needs it, so thanks for pointing out how clean the exhibit is.
Thank you very much for visiting and for your high recommendation.
See you again soon..

Once you come in, you can appreciate the works that go into this place. They also keep adding and changing them. If you have a chance, ask them about the control system they have for all those trains.

My husband and I came in out of curiosity, not really knowing what to expect. We were AMAZED by the beautiful display. Could have spent the whole day looking at every detail, everything is so creative and fun. We will definitely be going back to look at it again. Do yourself a favor and stop by, it is an absolute must in the region!

Sometimes curiosity really pays off and you experience something totally amazing. I am so glad you decided to stop by and had such a great time here at our model railroad display. Next time you come you will probably discover many more things you didn't see the first time, because now you know what to expect and what to look for.
We look forward to seeing you both again and thank you for visiting us.
