From the parking lot, it looks like a building just like any other building.  You go inside, and you find yourself in a town.  You walk over to the West Chester depot to pay your admission.  You look around the town again and see that this place is amazing, but you did not come inside to see a town.  You came to see trains.  By the way, it is just a bunch of model trains.  Right?  Prepare to be amazed.

You enter the first room, and you find yourself in the old west.  Well, you are not in the old west, but the layout displays the old west.  Each layout displays America from the early days of railroading to the present day from the rural lands to the mountains to the small towns to the cities.  Trains pass by towns through tunnels and over bridges and mountains.  Oh, during your walk-through, you will be passing through tunnels yourself.  During your journey you will see steam trains, diesel trains, subways and trolleys from yesteryear to today.  Along with the model trains there are also museum displays that include and old luggage cart and a bench once used inside a train station.  To make it easier, everything is on one level.  The only other level is an overlook that looks down on the display which is accessible by an elevator.
