CoastersRZ Posted March 19, 2008 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. Quote
Tuskin Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 I love building model train layouts. I've been working on a big n-scale with my dad for about 7 years now it not near done as we both are very busy but we really enjoy working on it when we get a chance. He will be excited to hear about this news great find thanks! Quote
KI on the mind Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Thats really really big. I've got a train set at home but it's really small. Quote
italianchef Posted March 19, 2008 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
The Interpreter Posted March 19, 2008 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
Shman Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Anyone looking for more detailed information about this project and the progress, including some construction shots can find it here: Details & Pictures Also, as an aside....you may recognize one of the names on the list of people who are running this FEC, Bill Balfoure used to be the head of the Entertainment department for Kings Island.

guy1115 Posted March 19, 2008 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. Quote
teenageninja Posted March 19, 2008 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
DeLorean Rider Posted March 19, 2008 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
RollerNut Posted March 19, 2008 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
guy1115 Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Check out their website at http://www.entertrainmentjunction.com for some updated pictures. I noticed their received their signage package today. This is going to be a cool place to take my 3 year old daughter. Quote
