  An amazing place to see a HUGE collection of model trains. It is a self guided tour and you can even control a few of the scenes. My grandson was as wide eyed as I was!  more »

  I cannot express how much I loved this place. It's really amazing and both kids and grown ups would surely spend a good amount of pleasant time in here. Many model articles on display! A unique and superb experience

  Somewhat of a surreal experience. Hundreds of model trains and two complete running models with various sizes operating with very detailed terrain models. One of the running model trains had a go camera! I would like to return just to enjoy the history of it all, to include the whimsical feel you get in the museum. Great complement to the train ride on the GSMR.
