Discover the Midwest’s Largest G-Scale Train

Your family can explore an impressive model railroad display right here at Shady Lane Greenhouse. Known as the KFH Legacy Train, this setup features 16 different tracks with over 2,000 feet of rail, showcasing passenger cars, freight trains, steam engines, diesel locomotives, and mountain cogwheel trains. The collection started small in 1998 and has grown to fill a 4,800-square-foot space. Trains operate on weekends during specific hours, but the elaborate landscape and track setup remains on display whenever the greenhouse is open, so there's plenty to see and discuss with your kids whether the trains are running or not. The display is designed for leisurely exploration—you'll find comfortable seating with tables and chairs scattered throughout so families can settle in and take their time discovering all the intricate details. Whether your children are passionate train buffs or simply enjoy watching miniature vehicles move through detailed landscapes, this destination offers engaging entertainment for multiple visits. The greenhouse staff welcomes questions and can be reached by phone if you'd like more information.
