O-Scale Railroad Model
Welcome to the Chi-Town Union Station, the world’s largest O-Scale Model Railroad and home of the world’s longest model train.
What is it?
We fill a 10,000+ square foot building in Commerce Township Michigan with more than 12,000 ft. of track stacked many layers deep from the floor to the nine foot level,
and our all-modeler staff opens the doors to the public on weekends from November through March.

The Idea
With its affiliation with the non-profit West Oakland Railroad Museum, emphasis includes exquisite modeling and our historically accurate and interpreted representation of railroading in and out of Americas largest rail hub, Chicago, during the 1950s and 60s.
Newer Additions
The Chi-Town Union Station terminal building arrived just before Christmas, 2019. The model is the front view of the Chicago and Northwestern Passenger Terminal in Chicago. It is known as the Madison Street station in Chi-Town. We are proud to finally have a proper terminal building. Even though construction is not complete, the building is a tremendous addition to our railroad.
Our Model
Chi-Town Union Station is a modified walk-around exhibition layout. Once the visitor enters the four to seven foot wide viewing aisle, tracks and trains surround the viewer. Tables are to the left and right, knee high, waist high, shoulder high, and higher carrying tracks from nine foot overhead down to and beneath the aisle floors.
