Exciting place to visit and learn with the whole family. The largest G scale setup in the state, plus a massive HO scale train model in the basement plus a new ABCs of trains exhibit with tons of interesting facts and artifacts. More trains than I can count around the ground including historic engines, cars, and many of them are operable. Train rides every Saturday, and several times a year they have special events where you can actually ride their 100+ year old steam engines. Very unique place.
I Love Trains and I had a blast here. 15 Acres with over a hundred different railroad cars to explore, plus a roundhouse that was very unique. I spent 4 hours there and wore myself out walking the grounds but it was worth every minute of it! They also had quite an elaborate model railroad set up there.
Great collection of ring stock. Lots to see, although not all of it is well marked or restored. But the location has a great feel and it is nice to stroll among the gear on a nice day. Don't miss the HO layout downstairs.
Most of the railroad cars were closed on the Tuesday we went, and the outdoor model railroad was not running. There are a number of rundown cars sitting in almost a junk yard. There were a number of employees working but the library was also closed. The best part is the downstairs mini museum and the play area for kids, but only on weekdays. You also have to pay for the indoor model railroad. Only $.25 but it is in addition to your entrance fee. The crowds on weekends make that area unpleasantly crowded. Not bad for a morning with toddlers but unfortunately not great.
Fun place for families & train enthusiasts alike.
