LARGEST family owned O-Gauge train layout in the America!! - Cornerfield Model Railroad Museum 

Thank you so so much for posting. Absolutely amazing amazing video of our place!!

As a person who has little interest in trains , especially model trains, I have to admit, this setup is pretty damn awesome. To the people who put this together, Bravo, your love for your hobby has created something pretty spectacular. ❤😊

Makes me miss America, the way it used to be

My dad was an engineer for the Southern Pacific out of Oakland, California for 46 yrs…He would have absolutely loved this layout , God rest his soul …..Thank you for the excellent tour.

This entire setup is beyond astounding. The immensity, the detail, the sheer amount of work that was necessary to create this masterpiece, and the love for model railroading that had to fuel the entire venture. I feel a road trip coming up :)

It is ridiculous how good this layout is. Pure magic.

This train town layout is truly unbelievably amazing. When I was a little girl ,I was told train sets were for boys . I always loved train villages and wanted to make one. You must be a railway engineer because this is a mind bobbling masterpiece. Thanks for sharing!

Their is so much attention too detail in this set-up it's mind boggling. From a lady rocking in her chair, to men sawing wood, a outdoor movie theater with actual movie playing. It just doesn't stop amazing me. AWESOME job guys.

holy cow, the amount of time and money invested in that set up is impressive. I was like, man the light fixtures and electrical on the ceiling alone would blow my hobby budget out of the water. Super impressed with the devotion and passion to the hobby

I am speechless, incredible work of art, must take my grandchildren this coming summer, it'll be worth our 6.5 hours drive

The attention to detail and scale of this train set is mind blowing!!

TK from PA I'm in my 70s. Grew up on Long Island and was a Dodgers fan. My Dad used to take my sister and me to Ebbitt's Field a few times a year. Gil Hodges was my favorite player. To this day I don't know if I enjoyed the LIRR and subway both ways more than the ball game, or vice versa. Out on the island, the train was not elevated. So it was an awesome feeling having to climb the steps to get onto the train. Alll LIRR trains travelled through Jamaica Station. It was a major transfer point for LIRR going to or from Atlantic Ave, Brooklyn or Penn Station NYC. Those three stations were elevated, and you merely walked on the ramp to enter or exit the train. Upon exiting the subway in Brooklyn, you were immediately hit with the aroma (or smell depending on your likes or dislikes) of cigar smoke. We always sat on the lower level, first base (Dodgers) side. Sometimes we were lucky to get seats closer to the dugout, usually though we were behind first base - always aware of where the steel beams were supporting the upper level seats. What does this have to do with trains? Pee Wee Reese, Carl Furillo, Roy Campanello, Duke Snyder, and Gil Hodges. Whether the Dodgers won or lost, I was okay with that, because I still had the Subway and LIRR trains to get back to home. And I had my own Lionel 027 guage trains set up in the basement. Those trains stayed with me until sometime in the 1990s when someone stole them from what I thought was a secure place in an open to the owners storage room of the co-op where I lived. Thinking back to when I realized they were gone, I can tell you that was a low point in my life. My mission now is to travel from Scranton area to just a few miles past the Ohio/Penna state line and see this awesome facility. I may make it before the snows this winter, or I'll be there after spring gets here. Two great oves in my life baseball and trains. Which one is better? My answer is this. Ask me which ABBA song song I like best, and I'll answer whichever one I am listening to at the moment.

Amazing. I am 75 and I still enjoy trains. Thanks for the show. When I was young we would stop what we were doing, wave to the engineers and watch until the whole train went by...I took my first train ride at 5 years old with my 1st grade trip in 1951....

Simply amazing, I cannot imagine how much work it requires to keep all of this operating. Thanks, great job!

No matter how may times you visit this, I don't think you could ever absorb all of the displays. These folks have done an amazing job.

As a youngster, I loved my O-Gauge Lionel Train Set and this so reminds me of true Americana. It's especially refreshing to see that there is still wholesome family hobbies that people engage in. America is a beautiful country contrary to what is shown 24/7 by the MSM and I am so glad that PghTrainFanatic channel exists. I subscribed and added a like even before I watched a second of content. God Bless these folks in Ohio for not only the preservation of but, the TOTAL involvement and dedication to build this layout, the likes of which I could not have even dreamed would exist! Bravo!!! And, keep up the great work as shown on this eye opening RU-vid Channel. Thank You.

This is an astounding achievement! This is my favorite type of layout, and you did an excellent job putting the video together to show everything. Going in, even when the dimensions were mentioned, I thought how is there enough that it needs a 45-minute video? But there were two amusement parks, a nature preserve, two baseball parks, and countless cool city scenes to discover. Plus, I have never seen that complicated of a working roundhouse. One of the carousels in one of the amusement parks is very beautiful. Yes, I watched the whole thing!

I'm not usually into trains, but who can resist this? The detail was phenomenal.

It's very rare these days with the Internet at our fingers, to see something you go, WOW, but this is WOW, the love and labour that went into this, just pours out, amazing, thank you for giving me 46 minutes of pure pleasure watching this on the over side of the pond.

Incredible tribute to the awesome ability of this family and the detail provided by Lionel. This display isn't exceeded anywhere in the world. It takes your breath away in every way!

Gobsmacked at the sheer scale and epic amount of detail on this! Can't begin to imagine the time and cost involved to create it...let alone maintain it.

This looks like Guinness material....They're electrical bill must be a fortune !... "I'm impressed" would be an understatement...I've never seen such attention to detail IN ANYTHING let alone hobby railroading ! Did anyone notice the working crossing gates and "end of track" bumper posts ?...TOO COOL FOR WORDS !!!

Your right Nick, it's one awesome train layout. Nice history about the train layout and Lione Store. Thanks for sharing your trip with us.

Incredible! Can’t stop smiling watching this incredible detail and the time that is has taken to set all this up. Thank you!

My grandfather was a porter on VIA Rail for 29 years, Joseph Dejean. When he passed in 1980,VIA gave our family 5 lifetime train passes ,learning of his life on the trains ,and my dad love of the hobby got me into model trains. I gave it up and went into comics in my late teens. This video has sparked up that interest again. Thanks and God bless you for sharing this incredible display of a deep love for a wonderful hobby.

Thank you for posting this video. You did an excellent job filming everything so carefully. And taking the time to move slowly through the sections of layout. Giving the viewer the time needed to take in all the wonderful aspects of the layout. Bravo!

Looks like Cleveland....Absolutely AWESOME. It looks like you could spend a whole day there and still not see everything. This is really a work of art and Obviously a work of love by these folks.❤

As a kid who grew up in the '50s, Lionel was a major part of my life. But to see actual scale reproductions running on Lionel three-rail track is just awesome (as opposed to foreshortened trains obviously chasing their tails!). One can feel the love these folks have for this wondrous hobby. It would be interesting to know how planning took place on a layout this extensive. One really has to have the imagination of a city planner to even begin to conceive of the process. Pretty magical that you arrived during snowfall as model trains are such a part of traditional winter Holiday Seasons. Must, must, must see this in person! But, until that time, thank you for your well shot video with its extensive tour of each nook and cranny. Bravo!

This is a truly impressive construction. Somebody put their heart and soul into this. At the same time, I was thinking if this was a real city could you imagine trying to sleep at night?

Not enough words to describe how awesome that train layout is. Thank you for posting this incredible video.

Thanks so much for this video. I am reminded of my father's gift of a Lionel layout in Cleveland in 1952. His two boys were delighted. Their layout may only have measured about six feet by four feet but your video brought back the innocent delight of model trains. Thanks again!

Truly amazing. Not just for its size but for the scenery also. And its so clean! All the buildings, trains, automobiles, and streets look like they were just placed. Roadside America was a huge display but its dwarfed by this one. Thanks for the video.

My uncle, not the kindest person in the world but family nonetheless RIP, introduced me to the model HO gauge train world and models in general. Trains were always at the forefront of his mind while I knew him. He had many hobbies before I was in the picture; aquariums, legos, guitars, and k-nex were among some that he collected and organized vehemently. His HO scale setup was the most impressive modeling I've seen in person by far. Originally starting in his garage in Lansing, Iowa, he ran Chicago, Champaign, and Southern, a line beloved by his fellow enthusiasts and peers. This line eventually moved down to Rockford, IL during the last years of his life, and later he passed in 2016. His attention to detail was second to none, no stone left unturned, no dot of paint wasted, no grass without purpose. He custom built and painted his diesel and steam locomotives as well as his passenger cars and freight lines. The walls of his facility were adorned with murals of bright nature reminiscent of a mid-west US afternoon. The smell of the room was a dangerous enticement, as if 1000's of packs of Magic the Gathering cards were opened at once or as if a Barnes and Noble had burnt down. While the man was not my favorite person in the world in terms of temperament and egotism, he instilled in me a deep love for all things built by hand, crafted with the soul. The part of him that I love lives on forever in the art of the craft. Thanks for uploading your vids of all types of model trains and things, it really has brought back some deep feelings and memories.

Absolutely amazing place & video it took my mind off of all the crap that's going on in the world, I've been homeless for 4 years 8 months 17 days 16 hours just got a home the first thing I want to treat myself to is a nice collectors train set to celebrate my freedom, thank u for this video, & especially the family that owns & runs this Lionel train shop store it's saved my life with a positive attitude on me & I thank you so much.

This is HUGE! I loved all the detail of the towns and the industrial areas, the amusement park.The moving things inside the towns, trolley, fire trucks, trolley, etc. What I loved, too, was that the drive-in movie was showing the film Unstoppable starring Denzil Washington and Chris Pine. Yes, I recognized it from that little bit he focused on it. I loved the melding of the old and new. JB Big Boy fellow on top of the Starbucks and the wind turbines. The Lionel Train Store with a little train inside! Oh Wow! Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Clearly a work of love.

This is AWESOME!!! I'm far from an enthusiast but this display is truly extraordinary and something the builders should be very, very proud of.

Thank you so much. You brought back memories from the 60’s where a close family friend had his place covered in tracks. The tracks went around most of the rooms except the kitchen and the bathroom. If there was a door, you could expect a train to cross that doorway. To enter or exit a room, you had to duck under the tracks. Of course, it wasn’t anything like this. Sadly he passed and I never saw the train sets again.

The detail is incredible; smoke from the smakestacks; you name it. Just incredible! 🚂 🚃

So nice to see how you have honored your great grandfather and through you tube you have shared it with the world. We hope the Shriner's Hospitals and St. Jude in Memphis can share it with their patients as well. And the seniors in the world's nursing homes too. We look forward to seeing it in person too! Our family thanks your family for sharing it here with us also. Enjoy and may peace and balance reign somehow in a world that needs them so very much.

This is the most phenomenal layout I've ever seen, absolutely pristine and spotless. It looks like it was just completed yesterday. The one question which kept popping into my head was, "Who has to dust all this?""

Thank you for posting this, and Thank You to Corner Field Hobby for allowing this to be on RU-vid. The amount of detail, pride, work, and love you all poured into this layout is fully evident. Extremely well done. My wife just told me that we'll be making a road trip soon to see it live.

This complete layout is sensational, thrill-seeking extravaganza. Soo amazing to see such perfection in its, overall format. What visionary expertise underway for new generation. Past , present, also the near future.

Awesome work! Must take a lot of time to maintain! I'd love to see a video of that process as well!!!

I seen a lot of model railroads but nothing as magnificent as this in my life.This layout is absolutely beautiful.

I'm not even a train hobbyists but I was so amazed at the fantastic detail that was put into this display I was totally blown away I ended up watching the whole video thanks for sharing.

Absolutely mind blowing! What an amazing accomplishment.

Incredible display! I can't even begin to imagine the hours and dollars invested. Unbelievable! Thank you for taking the time to share this video!

I always like seeing model railroad displayed.

Absolutely fantastic. This family is extraordinary.

This is crazy! The time gone into this is insane, thanks for sharing as im in Australia and never would have seen this otherwise!

On Monday afternoons. Cable RFD tv,. A show:. I love trains ❣️! Great TV program !!😊🚂

Dang! That is quite an impressive layout! Lots of action and details. Thanks Nick for showing off this extraordinary layout!

The only realistic part they missed was the graffiti on all the cars.

Absolutely stunning! Splendid! Extraordinary! Bravo! Well done & Thanck you!

Awesome place! Your excitement and wows are mine too! Thanks for posting, this unreal cooool!

wow, that's amazingly huge. One would never stop with operating this layout. Amazing scenery too

this is truly incredible...I am 80 years old...grew up in Euclid, Ohio....my father loved Lionel trains...my brother and I had a train layout (my father was always adding accessories to the layout) ...my brother had the Santa Fe locomotive...I had the Union Pacific locomotive, etc. I would love to see the "control room" for the Cornerfield Model Railroad...thank you for sharing this "layout" with us...I just cannot imagine the hours upon hours to construct this layout...wow...

I live in Florence, Italy. By pure chance, I met a man and he's got a building that's more or less the size of half a football field with an incredible and elaborate model train set-up. Pure insanity. I was bold and asked how much he had invested in his toy. Now, this was a few years back and he hadn't finished his vision yet. At that time he had 2.5 million into his little project. Needless to say, he was very rich.

Quite the place! I see this being added to our bucket list! And of course, Unstoppable has to be playing at the drive-in! Love it!

Imagine going to work every day at the Cornerfield Railroad Museum One job that you could enjoy for life Unbelievable 💟☮️🇦🇺

This layout is overwhelming! Thank you for such a well-narrated and very well edited video. This will be a must-see for whenever I get close to Ohio. This coming from an N-scaler! 🙂

WOW, amazing video experience, a new bucket list destination. I love trains, thanks for posting.

I can't even wrap my head around the hours needed to build this, much less the expense involved. The maintenance has to be non-stop too. Truly a great set up.

Absolutely phenomenal to see this video, in person it must be absolutely stunning! The level of detail is amazing, the sheer size of the layout is incredible, the sort of thing that each time you look at it you see another level of detail! Thank you for making and posting this video, very well done!

In the late 50s a friend's father had a O gauge layout in his basement. He had American Flyer trains. You could make the steam engines "smoke". I remember watching the trains for hours in fascination. Thank you for posting!

The most enjoyable part for me was Dad and Daughter both giggling like little kids, treasured moments for you both, just as I have of going to Buhl Planetarium as a child with my Mum and Dad at Christmas to see the layout.❤❤

One thing that impressed me among so many,was how they represented everything that used rails... From the Trains to the Subway,Trolley and Monorail!!!

Thank you very much for allowing me to join you! If it wasn't for you I would never have seen such an awesome layout! I am subscribing to your channel as we speak!

Wow 🤩 Thanks for sharing this video. Beautiful train set up.

Absolutely awesome, thanks for the great video, really great work not rushed, so enjoyed watching.

Extremely creative, the buildings are very well detailed. A display of some of finest top quality Deisel and steam locomotives. Excellent selection of rail cars and animation.

And, of course, the Lionel Train Store has trains running in the windows! What incredible detail at every level! Unbelievable! The collection of locos is phenomenal! What a beautiful palace! Great video - thanks for sharing this!

The phrase, "larger than life", doesn't quite do it justice :D Absolutely incredible. Thank you for taking us along! Cheers.

America's true pride,O gauge model trains, amazing

AMAZING ! What a layout, what a precision, what a detail...! It's crazy, wonderful ! I'm French and love American railroad for so long and I'm totally amazed with this incredible setup. (just a little review, the buildings seem too new and clean and would deserve to be a little aged, like the Keystone one, to be more realistic again. I know, it would be very long...!)

Wow, I am normally more into more weathered buildings and layouts and love them coming as close to reality as it gets, but mannnnnnn this is awesome! Looks all so pristine, fresh and clean. Enjoyed every second of your tour. Thanks for taking the time and the steady shots so we can actually see all the beautiful details there are to discover. I am used to H0 scale, so it's nice to see a scale double the size. But I am also from The Netherlands so this means the whole American vibe is something I am not really coming across normally. Last but not least I am loving Christmas and like that very much in miniatures too... so all in all this was a real treat on my lazy Saturday afternoon. Thanks!

Love listening to the guys chuckling!

Thankyou to the builders of this beautiful layout , truly awesome

Awesome; what can I say? I never got that into trains, my passion was and still is cars. But THIS is incredible. Not just the size but the detail and engineering. Wow. And what a great job you did filming it. Thank you so much for sharing this gem!

One of my favorite places to visit been there about 4 times now and I always see new additions to there layout. That place is massive glad you were able to experience it.

Thank you for posting. I am going on a roadtrip this spring to see this! Appreciate the way you captured the setup and all the attention to detail.

WOW! This is beyond incredible! Great video! Thanks for sharing this!

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL layout and had me speechless for a bit! Had to really think of what I was going to say. The details included in this layout is beyond spectacular! It's so cool how there are different themes etc as you walk along. What can you say abt the amount of building's that fit every square inch of every theme. My favorite locomotive on this layout was the FIRST RESPONDERS CSXT train! I sit and think how much this would be valued at from start to finish and know the total would be mind blowing! Thanks for sharing this video and look fwd to seeing the next one.

I remember getting a train set for Christmas when I was a kid. Loved it!! Years later I made a friend who loved model trains even more than I do. He had this sweet layout with a few trains and a cool scene. This video brings back those memories and then some!!!!! Mezmorising!! 🙂😥

GREAT ! ! ! Thanks for posting this incredible smile inducing video ! ! !

Very impressive set up. All I can say is "Wow!" .

Nothing compares with highly detailed “prototypical “ layouts, but this one just has you going WOW

Wow what a awesome place I can spend days in here thank you so very much for sharing enjoyed every minute of it

Such an amazing place! Loved your video, thanks for sharing.

Awesome

Thank you for posting this wonderful video! I grew up in Western PA, lived in Ohio for a while, and worked in a steel mill when I was young, so I saw a whole lot of trains and scenes like this in real life. The museum is definitely on my list the next time I'm back in that part of the country.

Excellent job. Thank you so much for sharing.

Outstanding facility! Thank you for sharing.

This is an ultra incredible layout. So many details and unique features on one mega layout! I definitely plan to make a trip to see this in person in 2022. Great video and narration!

This is amazing! When I was younger I went to the Novi Train Expo, here and MI and seen a Lego version of New York (still with the tower) and that has nothing on this! Wow! This is definitely on the list of trips of next year. Thank you!

Incredible scale, with so much going on beyond the railroad. The tiny little details whether in motion or static remains a joy to behold. And the humour that can be found if time is spent long enough is a massive payoff. I'd love to get out to Cornerfield and see these myself one day. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing~thank you for the journey!

The miniature baseball field looks fantastic!

This should be added to the Wonders Of The World list. Great job on the video. Very informative without being overly chatty and you had the good sense not to play annoying music in the background. Cheers from Canada

WOW !! I’m very impressed indeed! 😮I’m gonna have visit this place this summer.
