Since it's completion last year, the harbor restaurant playing dance music has been a tourist favorite! A trolley takes diners across a lake to eat on the big deck.

You can't beat the realism of full scale o railroading with its two-rail track.


Scenery has been completed on this long layout that runs around the outside of the 30' x 50' room. You will see lakes, waterfalls, industry, a winter recreation area, tunnels, and many many more scenes that are the result of over 9 years of work.
