Welcome to the Model Train Exhibit at Merchants Square.  You pay your admission, and you enter into the display area.  Yes, you will see large displays of model trains going around and around and around, but then you realize that it is night.  Wait a minute.  It was daytime when you entered, but now it is nighttime.  You hear thunder, but you are inside, but there is a flash of lightning.  It gets cloudy, and it starts raining.  After a few minutes, the storms cease, and it is sunny again.  You see the trains go around and around and around.  It is at that time when you realize that this is not your same old model train display but something so much more.
