That is so cool that you saw the display in 1947. It is really neat, if yo9u have not seen it in a while, you have to go back and see it. You will not be disappointed. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment.
Thank you my friend, We need to try to get more people our age into the hobby. That is one of the reasons I made this channel. I subbed to yours. I really like the content you have. Let's keep the channels rolling. And it is O-Gauge or no gauge. LOL
Are you from Chicago? I’ve been here my whole life this layout is a masterpiece. I’m also a part of the Chicago Lionel railroad club and run a ton of o gauge.
@@AngelGarcia-up6jh Yeah, I am from the Chicago suburbs. The MSI layout is fantastic! That is cool that you belong to the CLRC. It looks like a great group. I see them from time to time at shows I go to. I belong to the Train Collectors Association, Midwest Division. We do a lot of fun stuff through that group too. In fact most of the layouts you see on my channel are layouts from my friends in the group. Additionally, we have a modular group in the club that I am active in. We set up our layout at shows around Chicagoland often. Stay in touch, maybe our paths will cross at a show.
I remember the old display, but I've never seen this. It's great! It looks just like Chicago. I grew up on the South Side. There were trains, trains, lots of trains. My whole neighborhood was boxed in by train tracks. There was a railroad yard a half mile from my house. I spent a whole lot of time waiting for trains. And this display illustrates just what it was like; trains constantly going by your house, roads and intersections blocked by trains 50% of the time, freight trains, Metra trains, it still seems odd to not have trains constantly in the background.
That is really cool. Thanks for sharing. There is not a better place in the world than Chicago if you like trains. This is one of the best layouts I have ever seen too. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment.
You are going to love the layout and the Museum. The Museum of Science and Industry is one of the best in the world in my opinion. And that is not just because they have a great train layout. Thanks for watching.
I remember the original layout when I was a kid. It was cool then. I drive past The Museum at least twice a week and haven't been there in years. I have to go and check out how much has changed.
Don't bother, The new exhibit is a big pile of garbage. They replaced some high quality S gauge trains and replaced them with cheap unremarkable," Tyco" sets the buildings where okay but that's not the reason for the exhibit. This is a rubbish train set they've ruined. It and I want my money back!
Thank you for the kind words, watching and taking the time to comment. If you like the train layout videos, I have some more videos of layouts (not as big as the one at the Museum) on my channel. When you say make more videos like this, do you have any suggestions?
, you got to love that aerial view reminds me when I was up in a airplane about 20,000 ft they did a great job on the fields and you did a great job on putting that together thanks for the tour !#!!!
Larry, thank you for the kind words. You are right. They did a great job putting everything together for this layout. The arial view is magnificent. Thanks for watching.
I love that layout. The old one was better though. Can you believe that? The old layout was sponsored by the Santa Fe Railroad. I was surprised to see UP equipment on this layout. With the old SF sponsorship it made me double take. 👍
George, Dale and Karyn, since I’ve gotten the chance to introduce all of you ! I think we might be starting a little convoy ! Dale, George did a video of his grandfathers train layout that his father helped build and it is really a fantastic little layout I think you should take a look at it I’m going to try to see if I can find the link so I can tag you ! Jorge
Thanks for watching. I checked out the video you had on your channel. Cool review. Count me as a new subscriber to your channel. I cant wait to see more of your content.
I was about 9 or 10 when my Dad to me to the Fields Museum as a surprise; little did he realize or know that his son would have achieved the position of Locomotive Engineer on two Class 1 RR the Southern Pacific[made my seniority date on the SP in Northern California] and flowed over to the Union Pacific after the UP took over in the nineties and worked on the Roseville Service Unit/Oakland subdivision, worked through freight, And dad if you happened to be with me on that CZLAT with me as my "head man" on an 8 to 9000-ton freight out of Crown Zellerbach paper and wood products in Washington State or Oregon to San Luis Obisipo about 225 miles from Oakland {RR miles] YOU would be in the seat running,far cry from my Lionel layout you played with,dont worry I will keep my eye on ya. R.I.P. Dad. I retired in 2004 with 30 years of seniority as a Locomotive Engineer. "Highball' everyone is on, Main Line."
You really outdid yourself this time George ! Dale and Karyn From Toy-man television Did the show in the same spot in the same place you’re at ! Chicago museum of natural science I believe ! However you were able to do something that he was not able to do ! And that’s the fact that you smart enough to get up on that second-floor and take pictures of the entire layout from Birdseye view ! Anyway this was really a nice and fun layout and very detailed although it was in HO instead of “O” ! Well I guess you just can’t have everything huh ! Anyway great job ! 5-⭐️ 🌊🐺
I checked out Toy-Man television. Their channel is great. Thank you for the heads up. If you are ever in Chicago, you should go to that layout. It is fascinating. The museum is amazing too. Have a happy New Year my friend.
And you have yourself a very blessed and happy new year ! I’m glad you were able to check out toyman television ! They may be old but they know how to have fun ! Or as Dale would Call it, “The Fine Art” of screwing around !!! LOL 😂 he has a segment that you might find interesting called the (“ Rat Fink Reunion “), as well as their ( Collectors Attic ), and model car shows !!! Go ahead and explore I think you’ll find it educating but fun !!! 🌊🐺
Thank you for the kind words. The in cam video was from a feed on one of the model trains. I just took a video of the monitor the feed was displayed on. I really like your channel. I watch your videos all of the time.
Blue! I do live in the suburbs of Chicago. We are lucky aren't we? Live in the best spot in the world for trains. The weather on the other hand :-) oof!
The new layout is, "Hot Garbage" the reduced scale and cheap Walmart Tyco trainsets. This is a huge let down. Somebody pocketed all the donation money...and bought a bunch of cheap toys
I wish I could have seen the old one. My dad always talks about how cool it was. Sorry the layout is a disappointment, but thank you for watching the video.
Much changed when i first saw the model train display as a 9 year old in 1947.
That is so cool that you saw the display in 1947. It is really neat, if yo9u have not seen it in a while, you have to go back and see it. You will not be disappointed. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment.
@@GfwTrains I was born in 1944, a little young roaming around a museum.
I just started and I am excited to see a kid who likes trains and has a channel just like me
You will really like his channel, he runs O-Scale
