The second club Hi-Rail layout is approximately 9′ x 17′ and features a wide variety of accessories to please train lovers of all ages! The new layout made its debut at the Spring S Spree held in Marion, Ohio in May, 2014. Numerous additions and improvements have been made to the layout each year ever since.
One end of the layout features a diorama section that is periodically updated. The original section which is shown in the video below, had a Plasticville village with an operating streetcar. More recently, a siding off the mainline has been added to provide a location for a circus train to be parked next to a circus with operating Ferris wheel and Merry-Go-Round. Beginning with the November 2018 Greenberg’s Great Train and Toy show, the layout included a winter diorama with the Polar Express Christmas train on the siding. Periodically the circus train and the Polar Express take a few loops on the outer mainline tracks! These sections have been updated each season since the original streetcar village was displayed.
The YouTube video below was taken at the Greenberg’s Train and Toy Show on Sunday, November 13, 2016. Also see photos below.
