New museum attraction by Greater Midwest Lego Train Club (GMLTC); relocated to TCMRM in March 2018 and currently on display. The Lego Train Layout has dimensions nearly 7′ wide by 23′ long, with three functional Lego train loops. Nearly everything has been custom designed and built from Lego pieces by members of the GMLTC. It was a running two year project with an approximate estimate of total Lego pieces near half-a-million. Mainly the Lego trains run on a 9V DC train system (similar to HO scale) produced by Lego from 1991 to 2007. Modern Lego Power Function 9V battery-powered trains also run on the layout. The trains are officially “L scale” (short for Lego scale) with tracks and trains 6 Lego studs wide (roughly S scale). Frequently the trains are built larger, 8 Lego studs wide (closer to O scale), which runs on the same track but allows more room for custom building with extra detail.
