The staff were very kind, they had a wide array of vehicles, especially trains. It is a very good day spot for a day trip, I would recommend this to anyone who likes museums.

It is a nice but small museum. Several train cars. A few automobiles including a battery powered auto from the early 1900's. Lots of model trains and ships.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

The only problem is if you pick the wrong spot they'll tow your car and put it on display in the museum

You stand on the stairs near the trains on on some of the trains. I don't remember that you can sit in the conductor seats. You can stand near them also. Nice place to visit. There is a part of a plane you can sit inside on seats. Nice place to visit.

Where is the model train layout?

Dante Medori (Dantelevator) | Sep 30, 2019
Martin Litnäs | Sep 30, 2019

If you stay inside the main building and go to the left after entering, you can't miss it. If you see a DeLorean and some other classic cars, you've gone a little too far. The real engines are right through the building, in the backyard. The exhibitions on public transportation, buses and airplanes are located to the right after the shop, seen from the entrance. Have a great visit!
