Entertrainment Junction - BrianS - 04-10-2012
My appologies if this is in the wrong section of the forum.
Anyone been to this place: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.entertrainmentjunction.com/">http://www.entertrainmentjunction.com/</a><!-- m --> It's in West Chester,OH. SWMBO wants to go to Cincinnati,OH this weekend for a quilt show and suggested this as someplace I might go to amuse myself while she is there. Is it worth the trip?
Thanks in advance

Yes, it is excellent. I've been a few times. When I toured it with the Mini-Bunch, I heard many comments about how amazed they were to see such a fantastically well executed large scale layout. It is worth a several hour drive on its own.
Also, Allen McClelland (of V&O fame) is speaking at the local NMRA meeting on Sunday at 2pm: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.cincy-div7.org/meetings.html">http://www.cincy-div7.org/meetings.html</a><!-- m -->
A couple layouts are open afterwards, including this massive VGN layout where Allen has his current V&O space: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.deepwaterdistrict.com/">http://www.deepwaterdistrict.com/</a><!-- m -->
I'm moving this Monday, so I might not make the meeting.

Hi:
I personally have not been there but two members of my club have and they said it is well worth the trip. They are planning to go back and copy the layout they have for kids interaction as we might try to duplicate it or parts of it for our club ( <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.scalerails.org/">http://www.scalerails.org/</a><!-- m --> ).

Thanks very much for the replies. Sounds like it will be worth the visit.

Well, this was definetely worth the price of admission!! This is the type of place you could visit again and again, and notice something different on each visit.
Good thing it was indoors too... but, can't do anything about the weather.

Glad you enjoyed it! Yep, and since their army of volunteers keep improving it, there will be new things to spot once you've just about found all of the existing details...
