  • Welcome back everyone! In this video we visit the Chicago Science and Industry HO scale model railroad. This 3,500 square foot layout is super realistic and kid friendly.
    The Modeling a railway set in the 1930s off the coast of Italy in a fictional village called Amalfitano. The people and the railway have their stories. Along the way I will share these stories, how to’s and updates on the little Gn15 scale railway

    Went there when my kids were young, they were in the process of phasing out the "O" scale display and starting the construction of the "HO" setup. Very impressive!

    I've been to Chicago several times, but always on business. Next time I'm carving out some time to visit this.

      You should go. I think the trains run too fast but it is a good source of ideas. Go when is best for you in terms of crowds. I prefer when it’s quieter.
      Quieter Times. Although the Museum regularly has a lot of sounds, the following times tend to be less busy and generally quieter: February, May, September, and October. Spring Break (March/April), summer (June/July), and the holidays (November/December) are the busiest at Griffin MSI.

      It can get crowded trying going at a less popular time so you can enjoy it without getting all the crowd noise.

    When I was a kid, it was an O Scale layout.

    Very elaborate but I'm a country boy and would rather be in a small fishing village.

      I am like minded I prefer an up close and personal experience of a small Italian fishing village with a cafe and quirky characters.

    The train speeds are not to scale though...way too fast.
