Come to see the Trains!

The G.O.A.T
I call this layout The G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time) of Railfair because it is the oldest and most recognized layout at Railfair. It is possible as old as Railfair itself and is a family tradition to visit for many families.

It's was a simple HO Scale layout design with a piece of board, grass paper, a basic loop and with maybe a branch of track, construction paper roads and lakes, simple built building, hot wheels, and a fully decorated Christmas tree. It was original designed and ran by Sam Ellis but after his sudden passing in 2016 it was taken over by his friend Rick Crigger who has no plans to stop taken it to Railfair. Sam built that layout as simple as it is to show that anybody can build a layout and all you need is your imagination.

In 2023, Rick decided to start changing the scale of the layout to a more modern scale that all kids love of LEGO. It will still have a fully decorated Christmas tree to keep the tradition of train around a tree. It's a change that family and friends agreed that Sam's would have loved. It's simple and has imagination.
