Never been to a large operation like this before, really amazing. The time and effort these folks put into this its truly an art form. There were 4 displays working on my visit, and a fifth and sixth were either being repaired or built. They operate HO, N, O and G Gauges. They also feature live steamers, but they were not there on my visit. The different scales had different layouts. The G gauge was an outdoor setting, and featured a country side feel, no city scape. The N, O and HO scales were of city scape scenes, mixed with country, mountainous, switching and mining, kinda a really good mixture of all scenes for visitors.
The Model Railroaders are at the museum on the SECOND and FOURTH saturday's of each month.
