Hello Everyone,
I know this is sort of off-topic for this group, but I think it is interesting and definitely train collecting/modeling related. While I was in northern New York for a work “fishing” trip in Lake Ontario, I sort of stumbled upon a Model Railroad & Museum. It was a great place and if you are ever in the area you should visit. It is my understanding the layout has not yet been featured in either Model Rairoader or Model Railroad Craftsman.
This is a flickr photo album I dedicated to it.

It is a great Model Railroad & RR museum located in an huge old NYC freight station in Medina New York.
This is their facebook page:

It is a Father & daughter operation. They have been struggling to keep this museum a-float and survive. The founder of this museum sold his home 20 years ago, purchased a historic NYC 1905 (301 ft. by 34 ft.) freight depot and began to build the museum. He and his family spent the next ~10 years restoring the building, trough many trials, tribulations and the loss of a close family member, making a space in it livable for themselves while making the rest operational as a museum.
The last ten years have been spent building the layout and filling the museum walls with historic RR items and various vintage scale as well as toy trains.
The layout is still under construction however the areas that are complete have been very nicely and painstakingly done.
