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.

And I do need to replace the music, no doubt.

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.

Wow!

Fantastic effort... Nice video

Seems all trains were moving a bit too fast in scale

whats the name of the song?

I like the music. Why is everybody complaining about it? Was it changed?

[Dproud2700]

@ACLTony I believe that it was Walthers who might have done them. They also did BART Cars as well for out here in California.

Aside the REAL LIFE steam locomotive, where there any model ones?

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.
