I know of 1 place: Entertrainment Junction, 7379 Squire Court, West Chester, Oh 45069
Dixie Union Station
110 W. Main St.
Mason, Ohio (20 miles north of Cincy off I-71 at Kings Island exit)
Phone: 513 459-0460
Rocky Lane proprietor (great guy)
Full line: MTH, Lionel, Atlas, Sunset, Ross new & used
Entertrainment Junction has a very unique layout, but it is not O-gauge (G-scale). It is highly scenic and you walk around starting in the 1800's and progressing into the modern era. It is a commercial layout with admission being nearly $14.00. It is a bit less for seniors.
Dixie Union Station is almost entirely O-gauge and is an advertiser in OGR magazine. Stores hours are 1-7 Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri, and 10-7 on Sat. They are closed Wednesdays and Sundays.

A super nice S gauge layout of Cincinnati during WWII is at Cincinnati's Union Station. Union Station is also neat operating real deal Amtrak station to explore.

Toured Union Station yesterday. Beautiful Building. Went up tower A overlooking the trainyard. Great views. Wife came along to see Princess Diana exhibit which is going on at the same time. When Momma, is happy everybody is happy!

Made it to both of these places today. Entertrainment was very enjoyable. A lot to see there. The modeling seemed very realistic,
Dixie Union is a very nice store. Bought a twin pack of lumber cars from MTH. They have a very good selection and prices seemed reasonable.
