Reviews
"They are still building this up at the time of this writing. But this place is poised to become one of the finest model train layouts anywhere. They gladly took me on a tour through the amazing setup. I will certainly be back. Also not to be missed: The only nuclear weapon train car and guard cars I believe you can see anywhere. Go visit more than once and watch their progress!"
"Real nice old folk there, nice collection of railroad antiques, the model railroad is still in construction but I'm sure it will look better when finished in the future. They have a small collection of train cars and one locomotive that you can actually go in. But in summary it's a cool little place to stop by at."
"The only highlight is the rare helium car and an old Alco Switcher. The rest of the complete collection of outdoor exhibits is defunct nuclear cars that would most likely need an explanation. Inside the building (not a depot) is a model train layout, but we couldn't see it. This place has been deemed "temporally closed until further notice" due to the covid scare."
"Spent an amazing evening with knowledgeable railroad enthusiasts dedicated to all aspects of the history, from the extensive model they're building to the historical artifacts they've collected to the train cars that they're restoring. Their hours of operation are limited (this is all volunteer work!) but if you can catch them when they're open, it is so worth the effort."
"I'm sure it's a great place, but odd ball hours of operation make seeing it difficult. I drove over 35 miles one way today to show my grandson. The website said open but it was closed. A sign outside talked about an open house in Nov. It's now Feb. Seems like this is someone's private area, and you can visit if they happen to be there ATM."
