I'm not a train guy, but I love this exhibit. Unfortunately it is difficult to photo because of the lighting and the inability to set up a shot (people walking all around).

The light cycles every few minutes (day to night).......features include steel mills, working riverboats, all sorts of replicas of Pittsburgh buildings/towns, etc.

There are actually several deer in the exhibit.......a few of which are laying dead along the tracks in a few places.

Realistic, eh?

My grandpa had a few small set ups and one very large one that took up his whole workshop save for a work table and a little office. Took him several years and the local paper did a story on the front page (simpler times them 80's!).

He got into RC planes after that and had a hard time with his hands. Years of modeling had taken a toll on his skin, it would crack and bleed all the time. Solvents glues etc....
