Gene's Lionel train display is housed in a building that was constructed in 2000 and measures 56’ x 24’. Two five men teams built the display working one day a week for two years and it measures 30’ x 17’. The trains operate on five different levels with the capability of nine running simultaneously. Trains are O-gauge scale meaning ¼ inch represents 1 foot. One can view trains traversing a mountain scene, residential and country life from the rolling stock (cars and engines) collected over 74 years. A guest book shows visitors who have viewed the display from as far away as Ukraine, Columbia and many states in the USA. No restrooms.
