  • The Medina Railroad Museum has the largest HO Scale layout in Western New York, coming in at 204 feet long by 14 feet wide.
    The museum's E-8 locomotives: • E-8 Locomotive Pair at...
    ****Model train and memorabilia at Medina Railroad Museum: • Model Trains and Railr... *****
    Construction began in 2001, and is still in progress to this day.
    The layout itself is an interactive timeline, displaying how transportation of goods in Western New York began with the canal in the 1800’s, and progressed to trains.
    People who visit the museum are able to interact with different things on the layout through push button controls such as small trains.
    Two six-track hidden yards are installed next to the center walkway and store twelve sets of one-hundred-car trains, featuring engines from various railroad lines as New York Central, Erie, Lackawanna, Pennsylvania, Lehigh Valley, Nickel Plate, Santa Fe, Erie Lackawanna, and others.

    The museum covers railroad history from the late 1800’s to the present day. Various cases along the perimeter of the “layout room” display different artifacts pertaining to different jobs of the railroad.
    Each railway company had their own way of doing things to their standards; with the rail line outside of the museum formally New York Central the museum tends to focus on the history of the Central Lines.
    The building is one of the longest wooden structures built by New York Central, coming in at 301 feet long by 25 feet wide.
    The current freight house was completed in 1905, and ran as a passenger station and freight for three years until the current passenger station (located across West Avenue) was completed in 1908.
    They ran their storage and The Village Square Furniture store here, when in 1991 they decided to retire and put it up for sale and founder, Martin “Marty” Phelps, bought the property to begin the future of the Medina Railroad Museum.

    It would take a week for 10 people to clean all that track. That's one of the drawbacks to having such large layouts. It's an amazing layout for sure.

    You wish to see a more dynamic and mountainous layout of approximately 1800 plus square feet Walnut Creek California railroad club. Puts this to shame as far as operation, scenery and CTC board. This is nice -but no comparing to that one. Size isn't always the best thing. You

    Not a fan of large see thru “Union Station” train shed. Seems too big & out of place. Background “music” & noise sucks. Otherwise, quite impressive.
