Miniature World of Trains™  Update

It seems there may be some confusion about what the Miniature World of Trains™ is so let's clear that up.

First, MWOT™ is not a club or a group of retired people that want to run model trains on a large layout.

It is a for profit business along the lines of Miniatur Wunderland, Little Canada and Entertrainment Junction but better! So it is "Our World In Miniature™" and a "Fun And Family Friendly Entertainment Experience™" that will be open to the public a minimum of 5 days a week and the major holidays!

The plan is to combine all of the elements of these profitable open to the public displays on a grand scale and help promote model railroading at the same time in a large, clean, easily accessible venue.

So the new location we are pursing does just that!

First of all to our knowledge MWOT™  will be the first to own and not lease its location. We will own it! That means we have total control of the venue and the surrounding 9 acres, the 60,000sf of model railroading and related activities throughout the entire building and outside.

It we be run by a team of experienced model  railroaders that have expertise in customer service and attention to detail. It will be run much like the Disney Theme Parks. We will have paid employees supplemented by volunteers. Even some of the investors will be part of the management or day to day operational staff. People from around the USA and in fact the world will be helping to create the displays inside the Miniature World of Trains™.

The displays will employ both new and old technologies along with some technologies never before applied to model railroading. Everything we can do to make a visit become an experience will be done. While we can not divulge exactly what will be done at this time, all we can say is that some of what we are planning has never been done before for large scale model train displays, at least here in the USA!

The Miniature World of Trains™ is not a free venue to visit, but there will be a free area of  2 retail stores and quick service restaurant that anyone can visit at anytime during normal operating hours.

With this new location being 1 mile for the regions major interchange of I-85 (the busiest interstate in the southeast) and I-385, along with being across from the Greenville County School Districts Roper Mountain Science Center, 1 mile from the thriving regional mall and shopping area, near other family entertainment venues, the new for profit MWOT™ should be success.

So we would like you to be part of the team!
