We are easy to find!  Located at the northeast corner of I-75 Exit #161 and County Rd. 99, at the north end of Findlay.  When you exit I-75, turn east on County Rd. 99, then turn north (left) into the first driveway, just past the first building on your left. 

Experience the thrill of a coal-burning steam train ride on our nearly 1/2 mile of 15" gauge track layout.  Engine 901 and passenger coaches were originally built by and operated at the Israelite House of David amusement park in Benton Harbor, Michigan from the 1950s to the 1970s.  To see photos of restoration project click here.  To see a short video click here.

Our track consists of 12 lb. rail laid on 4" x 4" x 32" ties in a rectangular layout on six acres of land.

To see more photos of the track construction click here.

Added in July 2004 is our quarter-scale water tower, designed and built by our volunteers.  In the immediate background is our coal bin.
