Frisco, Texas (Collin County side of the city) contains an area with full size rolling stock of all descriptions. But also, housed within a building, is an enormous model train layout.

The above link details what I believe might be the largest model train layout in the world. It's gigantic.

Although I didn't drill down into the whole website, I have seen this model train layout in person, and it's quite impressive.

IIRC, the owner of the model train set originally lived in Waxahachie. But then he moved to Dallas to be closer to his grandchildren. He set up the train layout in his Dallas residence.

After he died, his widow contacted the Frisco train museum people, and donated the huge model train setup.

Again if IIRC, the museum got a $300,000 grant to take apart the Dallas house, extract the entire train set, transport it up to Frisco, and reinstall it in its new home. All $300,000 was spent on this effort.

If you ever get up to Frisco, this is a must see, given your interest in this hobby.
