I think it is the Chicago museum of science and industry. MR just did 2 articles on it in the June and July 2003 magazines. The layout is HO and it IS HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!! check it out at http://www.msichicago.org/. Also if you look around on MRs home page they have some videos of the layout in action. Have fun!!![;)]

A while ago - within the last couple of years - MR Magazine did a small article about a museum/tourist place with a huge indoor layout. I thought it was in Ohio or thereabouts [at least northeast US staes near the Great Lakes - either Erie or Ontario] and was fascinated by the place and would like to visit.

Vacation idea [;)][8D][:)]

I know that is a little vague in description [:I] but for some reason it strikes me that the building was yellow in the photos [:D].

Anyone can help out here - I hope? Just post a reply and I will check back later. If there is a website for it, throw it on here too.
