The Museum of Science and Industry has been known for years for their fantastic train layout. The layout depicts the rail lines from Chicago to Seattle. Originally built in O Scale and funded by the Santa Fe Railroad, the exhibit has thrilled visitors for generations. While the gauge, scenery, and railroads have changed, the layout remains a masterpiece. The Museum of Science and Industry has many incredible exhibits beyond their exhibits on railroading. In fact, this layout sets below a United 727 exhibit which hangs from the ceiling of the museum. The museum boasts a German submarine, the U505, the Pioneer Cypher, and the first steam locomotive to go over 100 MPH, the 999. If you like trains and you are in Chicago, this is a must see. Almost as fun as being there, is this tour with GFW Trains... and friends.

Much changed when i first saw the model train display as a 9 year old in 1947.

@GfwTrains Год назад

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.

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.

@jorgel.fernandeziii8278 4 года назад

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 !!! 🌊🐺

Jorge Fernandez hi guys! Wow yes! Great show!!! How in the world did you get the in train video?????? WOWED

@GfwTrains 4 года назад

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.

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.

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. 👍

Thanks

I do too and have my own small but private layout

@GfwTrains 4 года назад

Cool on your layout. What gauge? Thanks for watching.

@69eddieD 2 года назад

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.

@GfwTrains Год назад

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.

Great job! Loved that place! So many good memories.

@Steven_Williams 4 года назад

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.

@GfwTrains 4 года назад

Steven, you should go back. The layout is fantastic. Unlike the old one, it is HO, but it is a fantastic set up. Thanks for watching.

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 !

@darriusstrainsthings5736 4 года назад

You will really like his channel, he runs O-Scale

@GfwTrains 4 года назад

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

@AngelGarcia-up6jh 4 года назад

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.

@GfwTrains 4 года назад

@@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.

@carlstclair9920 2 года назад

GFW Trains your video is awesome can't wait to see this myself at the museum.

@GfwTrains 2 года назад

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.

@GfwTrains 2 года назад

That is fun. I wish that they still had train displays like that. I am glad this video brought back some good memories. Thanks for watching.

@DavidWicksiam 2 года назад

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!

, 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 !#!!!

@GfwTrains 4 года назад

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.
