Bryson,
Even though I never got to see it in person, I can’t wait to see it here in Chattanooga and I hope to enjoy it as much as I can.

I saw it for the first time on December 14th. Wanted to see it before it disappeared (now moving). It was most impressive. I was shocked to see a large river scene where the water was water. Plus seeing G scale mountains, skyscrapers and other large scale scenes is so rare because of the massive space requirements. I like the idea of it serving not just as a museum, but as a place for gatherings like birthday parties, wedding receptions and corporate events. Cincinnati seems to have that idea down better than most cities with the Sign Museum doing much the same thing. As a modeler, I really like how they often cut away the outer skin of the buildings so you can see inside. That’s a great way to add interest to a scene. Hopefully most of it survives the move.
Me and my wife visited in 2015 passing through Ohio. Was saddened to hear it was closing, now can’t wait t for the reopening in the new location.

Thank you,
Several years ago, we senior citizens stayed nearby the layout while visiting an attraction in KY. Our short visit at Union Station was WAY too short. This caused me wanting to take a trip SOLELY to visit the layout. Life goes on. The new location will be even closer for me. I sure am anxious to hear of the new location opening. Thanks Firecrown. endmrw011325155
