I may go there this weekend, after first attending to family affairs.
I have heard of this layout and if I miss it this time (again).......I'll get to it closer to winter.
Might bump into OGR Forum members
What Scale is the layout?
It's all O scale with an HO roller coaster and theme park train. It's mostly modeled after the Pittsburgh area.
Oh, and I ran into Dr. Jack(he's a volunteer there).

Thanks, my eyes were tired and I couldn't tell from the pictures if there was a center rail or not...

Hi Keith, it was my pleasure talking with you today. I have to say you know your trains both Lionel and MTH as well as the CSC Miniature RR & village. As I said when you turn 14 you can apply for a red vest and help us out explaining the history of this detailed layout which started in 1920. Just to clear up some points of interest, the layout as presented is the history of Western Pennsylvania between 1890 ans 1930, hence no diesel engines only steam. We have five,O gauge 3 rail lines and one 2 rail trolley line, the Park Train and roller-coaster are both HO gauge. There are 105 animations, 250 thousand hand made trees, 23,000 fans at Forbes Field not including the players and yes it's real water. To much to go into detail here but all are welcome to stop by and and see a real Museum Quality hand made layout.
Keith, next time you stop by I would like to hear the progress you have made, sounds to me your on the right track.
Jack
Thanks, Jack it was a pleasure meeting you. I hope to see you again at the science center.
I hope to see you again at the science center.Very nice. I love that ultra modern home. If I remember correctly there was a post on this forum or in the magazine some time ago.
Keith likewise.
The house is Fallingwater, designed by America's famous architect Frank LLoyd Wright made from blueprints and pictures we found, took about 4 to 6 months to build the out side is made of real rocks like the original, which is located in Somerset Pa.
