What an incredible video! Thank you for sharing Dave! We hope you had an enjoyable time at the Choo Choo Barn!
Hey! Thanks! I did have a great time, I only wish I had more time that day. So glad I finally got a chance to stop in
The choo choo barn will always be a part of my life and childhood. There’s so many animations on the entire layout, it’s so hard to pick a favorite
An awesome place
Wow! What an amazing layout to visit! So much to see with amazing detail. No wonder Choo Choo Barn is so popular! Thanks a lot, Dave.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You're right Dave, that is one of the most detailed and interesting layouts I've seen; keep up the great vids. Thanx, Sam
Glad you enjoyed it
We have been going to the Choo Barn since 1981 , it never gets old.
Nice. So much to see
Whoa...tons of imagination that has become reality. Incredible...thanks for the video Dave !
Glad you enjoyed it
The fish in the beginning sold me. Outstanding layout
I always love real water on a layout but I don’t think I had seen one with fish before!
Love that place. Get new ideas evey time I go there.
It certainly gave me some ideas!
This layout is SO cool. Kind of reminds me of the train layout at the Chicago Science and Industry museum when I was a little kid
It’s very cool indeed
A great time as a kid going there with my family on summer vacations. It’s the little animated scenes that always make it interesting. You always want to work on your own layout after leaving there.
Couldn't agree more!
Call Dave what a great setup at the choo choo Barn can't wait to see what you got and be looking forward to that
Such a great and fun place!
The choo choo barn always has a cool layout here!
Sure does
Real fish in the pond. The trains have become secondary to all the action figures, lights, motion, and decorations on layout. The construction equipment is awesome. But I’m missing a lot with lights off i think. Lots of things in motion and lights has to be eye catching for kids to see. It’s like art in motion.😊
I've been to the Choo-Choo Barn ( it's been years though ) and it's just as impressive when the lights go down, close to magical really, but unfortunately the camera really doesn't capture it. You have to be there.
Yeah the lights out it’s really too dark. Even harder to see on the video.
Great job capturing this display and its details.
Thanks, a layout like this makes it easy!
Oh wow! The Choo-Choo Barn! The wife and I were there about 30 years ago (My God, where do the years go?) and it's just as cool as I remember it! Maybe a little more so. As I recall we entered through one door and after passing through that incredible layout we exited into the Strasburg Train Shop. Marketing genius if you ask me! Oh yeah, you see the layout, get "The Fever," and then exit into a train shop! We've called it "The Diabolical Choo-Choo Barn" ever since! 🤣
Yeah, I spent money, couldn't help myself! 🤩
One thing, actually two things I noticed were those MTH PCC trolley cars, they didn't have those back then. I've got two myself and let me tell you they're a gas to run! Silly, but true!
Thanks for bringing us along Dave! I really enjoyed this! Gotta get back there one day!
Time sure flies on by! The store is a couple doors down but still close enough that it’s easy to walk in and spend some cash!
The trolleys are very cool. I always like seeing a trolley make its way down a street
@@dagryffynhobby A couple of doors down now? OK, not a surprise, things DO change over time, especially if it's three decades!
Visited it last year! Fantastic place and would go back again! So much detail and so realistic! 🚂😉
A fun place for sure
Thank You Dave, it was a Kool trip!
Glad you enjoyed it
Very well done video!!!!! Very enjoyable!
Thank you very much!
Last year in April when I attended Strasburg and the York train show, the Choo Choo barn wasn't open. ( Really wish road side america was still operating as well).
I really wanna visit this year in October. Fingers crossed that it's open.
Thanks Dave for this awesome video.
Bummer that it wasn’t open. Definitely worth a visit
Great, thanks.
Thanks for watching
Thanks for the great video Dave!
Glad you liked it!
Awesome layout
Glad you like it!
Choo choo barn is a great place to visit. My wife and I love it.
Nice
I love going there. From the first time as a kid to now as an adult it is a great place.
Nice. So much to see
Such a great place. Ever got to see Roadside America before it closed Dave?
I did a long time ago. I can't remember for sure but I think it was larger than the Choo Choo Barn. The Choo Choo Barn was awesome though!
I remember Roadside America from the late 1960s, my family did the tourist thing in Pennsylvania and R-A was one of the stops we made. An absolutely incredible sight to see! There were trains as part of the display but I'd say they were a secondary feature complimenting the miniature structures. I've also been to the Choo-Choo Barn but R-A was much bigger, overwhelming in fact. Roadside America's gone now of course, the descendants of the originator just didn't want to deal with it anymore. "C'est la vie" as the saying goes.
I went to Roadside America a couple times as a kid. I was about to bring my own kids and then it closed.
Now that I think about it I'd say that the closest thing on the East Coast to what Roadside America was is the club layout of the New Jersey High Railers in Paterson NJ. Of course as a club layout it's private but they do have open houses several times a year. I've been there a few times and it's incredible! Overwhelming actually! If you're close to the area you can check their website for open house dates.
@@wayneantoniazzi2706 did you manage to get anything from the Roadside America auction?
Looking great and I have not been there for a while
I was impressed
