CoastersRZ Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 A $10 million, 80,000 square foot building that will house a model train display will open its doors in West Chester, off of Tylersville Road and I-75 in June. Part of this entertainment complex will be an area that houses seasonal displays, including an old amusement park funhouse. The centerpiece will be a 25,000 square foot train display, broken into three historical periods. The annual holiday train display at Duke Energy`s downtown office is only 2,000 square feet by comparison! Read the full article from the Cincinnati Enquirer.

italianchef Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 It seems to be a place that I MUST take Little Chef to. He is obsessed with trains. Toy trains, real trains, pictures of trains, etc. I bet someday he will work with trains....hopefully in the marketing dept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Then I know a place you can take him where he can ride Thomas the Train... Several places, actually....from big ones (historic ones) to ones in theme parks that number their flags (but not their park in Kentucky, at least not yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guy1115 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I have had the pleasure of doing business with this upcoming attraction. It has been amazing to watch it grow in the last 3 months or so. I can officially say that I have never seen such a huge, detailed model train exhibit. I for one can't wait to take my girl to this when it opens.

teenageninja Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Where exactly is this on Tylersville, there is so much stuff popping up up there that it's hard to figure out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLorean Rider Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Wow, this is really &^%*ing big. I know a guy with a 30,000sq/ft warehouse where we work on cars and it's enormous. He rents space out to three separate tenants and there is still extra room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerNut Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I just started working on my first layout in N scale. It is 96" by 42". I have a small 10x12' building that I am trying to fix up before I built a bigger one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
