Had a wonderful time and lucked out with a surprise free admission day. The setup was pretty involved and I liked how they used local areas from California and Nevada to add to the experience. We only got to see on train wrecks leftover carnage from the past but still had a really good time here. Definitely recommend a visit.

Very large (it's in a warehouse) & detailed model train exibit including O, HO & N scale. Been taking my son here since he was 3 (now 8) & he still asks to go at least 2-3 times a month. Buy the family pass for the year, it's worth it.

I really enjoyed the place. The detail and heart they put into this train set is outstanding. The size is awesome too and that they have 3 different train size tracks. It's also fun hearing about it from the different people that volunteer their time. It's also next to a beautiful park so bring a picnic for the time after you are done with the train. Very good experience. It's also great for kids too since they have tunnels with little windows so the kids can see.

I am looking for someone who is willing to help me inventory my mega model train collection. Does anyone provide a Trainventory service that is willing to do housecalls for a fee?

Unfortunately we do not have the resources for such a task.
