1423 - Model trains plus

Here's a look at the worlds largest model train exhibit. The first video is an overall introduction to the whole exhibit. The second video is the first of eight on board camera views on the layout itself.







Here's the LINK to the main website. The layout itself is 6000 square feet with the overall exhibit area at 20,000 square feet. It takes 160 people to work on this.


This is a floor plan of the layout in 2004. (click it) On the main site if you go to the 'section' area you can see a map of each individual part of the layout.


Here's a model stadium filled with thousands of miniature people. (click it)


Here's a link to one of the WEBCAMS on the layout.

When I was a kid I knew a guy who a whole basement filled with his model trains and miniature railroad. He was really creepy weird.
