My dad used to take me to the museum of Science and Industry when I was young.it's a fascinating place! I do remember the old o scale layout.Does anyone know if the trains on the new layout belong to the museum or do individuals bring their own stuff to run on the layout as a club?or is it both?
I wonder how many budget cuts had to be done to pay for the layout and people to maintain it. That explains why the roads are still in such horrible shape. I don't live there but I'm a truck driver, I know. Nice layout though.
I tried to go once, but since drive a motorcoach, there is no where to park. And the people at the Museum were rude and no help. Tried to talk to manager, and was informed in not uncertain terms bt the lady at information desk and security lady, that I could not speak to him about parking in rear. So I thank you for the video's since I probably will not get back to Chicago to see this exhibit.
makes me want to dig out my ole rail set and finish what i started when i was a kid. I would love to pass that down to my kids. It`s a great way to get them off those dam cell phones and comp`s myself included!
I wish I could go back there and see it again. Even if you went there a thousand times and they didn't change a thing you still will find a ton of details you didn't see before. It truly overloads you eyes at the how beautiful the layout truly is and the amount of detail. I wish I had the $3.3 million they did to build a layout.
@trainlover479 That steam locomotive is the famous Empire State Express 999 the first land vehicle to reach 100 mph. They also have the original Burlington Zephyr on exhibit
I've seen this layout at the Science and Industry museum, you can look for hours. There is so much detail! I want to go there again sometime soon and video tape as much of it as possible and get some pictures. I have a train layout, it's only 8' X 16', it looks so small compared to this one.
Wow! I've been putting together layouts since I was a kid, and this one is by far, The most beautifulest layout ever. If you can find one that's better please e-mail me.
i have an exact replaca of rochelles railroad park in ho scale with all the heritage fleet global 3 and lots of intermodal coal engines of both the UP side and BNSF side and as well as mixed frieght
You know I was wondering, what do you tink us Modelers would do if really had this much layout to play on........ I know some have a nice layout, but this is nice, big are and long trains, sweet, just a thought, what do you reckon the cost of this layout is to build?
The team behind this project did a stellar job. No matter how many times you see the layout, it's like seeing it for the first time. Amazing talent! I'd be happy to have those broad, sweeping curves on my layout if nothing else--perfect for watching long streamliners! :-)
Damn near fell alseep. I liked the layout. BNSF is my favorite railroad. So, that made the video more tolerable. Warning: Insert earplugs prior to watching. Do not operate heavy equipment while watching this video.
That reminds me, on this particular day I was up at 4 to catch the train to Chicago, and didn't get a nap, so by the afternoon I was really, painfully tired.
The video was great, but the music literally SUCKED! Why not use background music that is appropriate and beautiful, such as "My Kind of Town (Chicago)" by Frank Sinatra? That way we could enjoy the audio as well as the video.
Copyright. I had a really nice piece of music, but had to choose another to avoid copyright conflicts. You're right, it doesn't fit. And really, I don't recall picking this music. Youtube must have changed it for me. I'll look into it when I get a chance.
That was pretty cool, sure wish you could of got more of that dc9 over head jetliner, nice sd70 bnsf locomotives!!! Thanks for sharing you video clip. 5 stars.
That is a 727-100 retired from United Airlines and was flown into Meigs, taken apart and shipped over to the museum.. Search for United Airlines 727 landing at Meigs field Chicago.. There is a video of it. Very cool to see a short field landing in a 727
@58mosh58 There was a manufacturer who made HO scale CTA subway cars. Unfortunately that was years ago. The cars do pop up on ebay from time to time, so check there regularly. Keep the search broad by typing in: "HO subway cars" or "HO transit rail cars". One other option: Contact Mike at IHP at: (610) 352-0982. He produces N scale CTA cars and would consider doing them in HO if there was enough of a demand.
