The Video shows Twin City Model Railroad Museum when it was located at Bandana Square in St. Paul. There are four segments from KMSP Channel 9 Morning with reporter M A Rosko in 2012.
M A shows many areas of the Museum, including the internationally renowned O Scale layout and the Toy Trains at the old Chimney Building at Bandana Square. The Toy Trains – including Lionel, Amtrak, Marklin and others were located in this building, whereas the Scale Models were at the Main Building of Bandana Square.
Today the Museum is located near University Avenue near the old Amtrak Station.
The Scale and Toy Train Models are now in one building.
