EnterTRAINment Junction is Closing FOREVER! World's Largest Indoor Train Display West Chester Ohio

[@leekresser8384]

I have been there many times, and have brought groups, family, and friends to this wonderful place over the years. One time, attendance had been low, and I saw an employee/volunteer standing and engaged a conversation about train sets in our past. I asked politely if we could go " inside a "mountain" to see the "inner sanctum" where the control systems were. He obliged with kindness and my grandson and I feasted on the electronic controls, switching, and feedback systems to keep trains from running into each other. What a great place!!!!

@leekresser8384 Thanks for Watching and sharing your memories. What a great memory for you and your Grandson. What a nice employee!

[@AndrewJr66]

I’m so happy you made this video so I could go back and look at the exhibit again

[@followthearrows]

That's the reason we made it, to document and preserve what EnterTrainment Junction was for people that never had a chance to visit and for those that did. Thanks for Watching!

[@AndrewJr66]

This was my childhood I’m so sad it has closed 😢❤

[@followthearrows]

@AndrewJR66 It is very sad to see it go. Thanks for Watching!

[@homefrontforge]

We went there recently for the first time. What a wonderful experience. It's very kid and family friendly. It's sad that it is closing for good. Thanks for capturing the experience.

[@followthearrows]

@homefrontforge We are sad to see it go. It is such a unique experience. Thanks for Watching!

[@rodgerpetrick6502]

If I had the money I would buy it. I love trains.

[@followthearrows]

@rodgerpetrick6502 Thanks for Watching!

[@uprrguy]

Great video. I believe Miniature Wonderland is actually the world's largest though.

[@followthearrows]

Thanks! Where is Miniature Wonderland? Sounds like a good place to visit. Thanks for Watching!

[@uprrguy]

@followthearrows it's actually in Germany. A place I would love to go but sadly I will never get there. Lot's of videos on KZbin. Check it out. Totally amazing!

[@followthearrows]

@@uprrguy Thanks for the information. We will check it out.

[@theknowledgeoflondon1444]

Miniature wonderland is 75,000 sq ft. I think this one was the largest in the US

[@followthearrows]

@theknowledgeoflondon1444 Thanks for Watching and sharing this information.

[@pearsooo6972]

Love that place. Very highly detailed. I wish I had the money to purchase it

[@followthearrows]

@pearsooo6972 The details are amazing. Thanks for Watching!

[@pearsooo6972]

​@@followthearrows your welcome

[@vickysmith7644]

I really wish they found a buyer to keep this place. I live close to Entertrainment Junction. I don’t think people who visit Ohio or even people from Ohio knows about this place! Shame! I My Grandchildren and children love Entertrainment Junction. It will be missed!

[@followthearrows]

Yes, it will be missed. Thanks for Watching!

[@rodgerpetrick6502]

Fascinating.

[@michaelmckibben3392]

Sad to hear that I've been there it's a really nice place to go I enjoyed everything there including my day

[@followthearrows]

@michaelmckibben3392 Yes, it was very nice. Thanks for Watching!

[@amusementnow4416]

Great video! Hope you found all the dinosaurs :)

[@followthearrows]

@amusementnow4416 It is challenge to find them all! Thanks for Watching!

[@jsarkozy]

so sad it's closing...there is so much garbage out there in this world that seems to go on and on forever yet awesome places like this are closing down.

[@followthearrows]

@jsarkozy It is an awesome place and nothing else like it in the area. Very sad day for this area. Thanks for Watching!

[@CubeAtlantic]

idek, that train junction was one of the largest it looks very complex & absolutely detailed.

[@followthearrows]

@CubeAtlantic Thanks for Watching!

[@CharlesOday-o3s]

That's sad for now I will never get a chance to check out this place for I love learning about trains

[@followthearrows]

@CharlesOday-o3s We are sad to see it close. Thanks for Watching!

[@ChristopherWright-wh8gk]

Yes you did a good job on this sad thing that this beautiful train layout is gone on January 5 and you said that it is for sell and you like the bumper cars and something else but I don't remember what you said. What I like is the big boy, Santa Fe, and the 2 rollercoasters but I know that it would be way to much money that I can afford. But it would be nice that I could get them and afford it too

[@followthearrows]

@ChristopherWright-wh8gk Thanks for Watching. Since we made the video, they found a Buyer. The Trains and Coney Island are going to Tennessee.

[@NateKeller-f9j]

I have thought of having a place like this for my g scale Christmas village and trains after I retire since I don't have the funds to have it now.

[@followthearrows]

@NateKeller-f9j Very nice. Thanks for Watching!

[@JeffShavinsky]

It’s a shame its closing if I had that kind of money I would’ve bought it and kept it open I went there once with the last job I had and we took some kids along.

[@followthearrows]

It was a one of a kind attraction for the Dayton- Cincinnati area. We will miss it. Thanks for Watching!

[@gracemember101]

Roadside America in Shartlesville, PA went the same way. Sadly, in today's economic climate miniature railroad displays don't have the same appeal they used to.

[@followthearrows]

@gracemember101 I remember going to Roadside America when I was a kid. Thanks for Watching!

[@MiamisburgJay]

Well done... as always I enjoyed the drone footage. it gives a nice feel of the size from above :) There is so much to see there, no matter how many times you go. I enjoyed watching your perspective and some of the things that caught your eye, that I never even noticed... it was always a cool place like that. I made it there in November and have so much stuff to put out still... lol.. my inside information told me that the marble collection will be going back to the owners, and the Lionel train setup will also go back to the owner. Then the rumor had that there is an investor interested in all of the trains out in Las Vegas. That would make sense to try and set up something out there. It will definitely cost a lot more to visit that attraction. We shall see how the rumor mill plays out :)

[@followthearrows]

@MiamisburgJay There will never be another place like it! I just read that the Train Display may go to Tennessee. It will be interesting to see where it all goes but sad to see it end. Thanks for Watching!

[@MiamisburgJay]

@@followthearrows You are correct that there will never be another like it. Whatever may come will be different... hopefully, it will be very cool. I am interested to see where it ends up. We shall see :)

[@rodgerpetrick6502]

So sad to see landmarks like this have to close. It's to bad nobody would take over.

[@banjoist123]

As an old model railroader this makes me sad. If you grew up where and when I did, you had to come up with something to do in the Winter months. Everybody had trains. Toy trains and Christmas were inseparable. I am just old enough to remember the very last days of steam and remember the lumbering smoking giants running through our little farm town. My children have absolutely no interest in models, or in trains in general. They are merely an impediment to car travel. Maybe a hero investor will come along. It makes me feel really old and sad.

[@followthearrows]

@banjoist123 My late Father loved model trains and had a very large collection. The newer generation doesn't have the same interest. This place created alot of interest in model railroad railroading. Since we uploaded the video, a Buyer from Chattanooga, TN purchased the entire Train Display and it is supposed to be back on Display next year or early 2026. Thanks for Watching!

[@michelgouverneur885]

what will become of the sets, trains, buildings ?

[@followthearrows]

@michelgouverneur885 After we posted the video, the entire Train Display was sold. It is going to Tennessee and will be part of a new Transportation Museum in Chattanooga. Thanks for Watching!

[@rodgerpetrick6502]

I'm just sorry I never knew about this.

[@williamschlenger1518]

What a shame.How about the one in Hamburg Germany?

[@JeffsburgJunctionGE229]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[@LunarEquity1993]

It sucks I've never been to this before why are they closing down

[@1DwtEaUn]

owner retiring and no takers at the sale price.

[@LunarEquity1993]

@1DwtEaUn Well that stinks & I hope the owner has a happy retirement & it would be nice if a railroad historian can save it & I live in Newark Ohio & there's this old passenger car up in vanatta ohio that used to have a railroad & hobby shop back in the day

[@KobeL-d4o]

Its actually not closing forever its just being moved to a transportation museum

[@followthearrows]

Thanks for Watching

[@nuchairco4137]

No one is doing hobbies anymore. It's a curse. It's all about computer games and computer entertainment. It's too bad. We have stupid kids. They will have no talent when the computer stops.

[@RonnieClarke-vh4ip]

It to bad they can't pass it down to the family or son or daughter or landlord wants more money it down the rail it goes😮...

[@Steasal692]

I would like to buy the operating turn table I saw. I had one but it's no longer working. Please, if you can get back to me. Thanx

[@followthearrows]

They sold the entire Train Display to a Buyer in Chattanooga, TN. Thanks for Watching!

[@JasonTrew2018]

@@followthearrows Firecrown Media was the buyer, they are the same ones that bought Kalmbach Media back in May of 2024
