or Donate
to the Miniature World of Trains™ to help us
build a miniature journey across the USA and other countries.
Miniature World the next big
attraction in America!
America is a vast country
of physical and cultural diversity. So vast that some would say
it's impossible to experience in a lifetime. Our vision is to
bring ost of the United States just a little bit closer, to
build a place where people can see and experience our glorious
country in all its splendor, in an afternoon.
A miniature adventure from coast to
coast to coast!
To be located in Greenville, SC and open in
late 2023 early 2024, the Miniature World Of Trains™
is a unique, compelling in-door theme park attraction that taps
into the universal fascination we have with miniaturizing our
known world, and celebrates the beauty and culture of this great
country. It will be an immersive journey of discovery through a
miniaturized America and other parts of the world as we move
forward.
What we've built so far
At the Miniature World of Trains™, we will be
building a unique and compelling experience for our visitors that
is unlike anything they have ever seen. We are combining the
century's old craft of model building, dollhouse-making and
model ship building with the 21st century technologies of
miniature lighting, video projection, 3D printing and augmented
reality. Also using the "out of box" technologies of today's
model railroading hobby and enhancing the hobbies capabilities.
The founder of the Miniature World of Trains™ has established
and continues to recruit a
talented team of model makers and miniature world builders from
around the world to create the new, permanent version of the
Miniature World of Trains™.
The
non profit test BETA version was created in 2012 , and with a non
profit investment $500K and 75,000 man hours to create a BETA
version of three initial destinations. The City of Greenburg
™ a fictional city in South Carolina,
City of Industry
™ South Carolina and the Rocky Mountains.
This BETA test was successful and now it is time to move forward
with a larger. permanent venue.
Our version of Interstate 85 will be the busiest in the
miniature world and in fact is the busiest in the real world
Southeast Corridor, with custom autonomous car control system of
self-driving cars zipping past each other.
As of 2015 we where just getting started. Now
we have found a preferred land location to build the permanent
version of the Miniature World of Trains™ and a location to
house a temporary location while funding is secured for the
permanent location.
Now, we're just getting started
again to build a new. We're building the United States from
coast to coast to coast following the path of the Continental
Railroad from the east coast to the west coast starting with the
east coast and the City of Greenburg™, a mid sized modern city
with a large railroad presence, numerous interactive industries,
large eastern and western mountain scenes and the largest model
railroad staging area in the USA to start!
Everyday we're recruiting our team of
Animotioneers™ and Miniature World Builders™ who
share our passion for the United States and we are seeking
donors to help us accomplish this goal.

Proof of Concept - Highly Rated Attractions
Our first miniature world proof of concept is
Miniatur Wunderland, a 70,000 square foot indoor miniature
world, opened in Hamburg, Germany, in 2001, which attracted
1.3M visitors in 2016. Miniatur Wunderland has become the #1
rated "thing to do" on TripAdvisor in all of Germany - you can
google it - and was just named the #1 tourist attraction in
Germany in a survey completed by Tourism Germany of over 16,000
respondents. Comments on TripAdvisor range from "You will fall
in love with it. I am sure about it!" to "This will blow your
mind!".
Inspired by the launch of Miniatur Wunderland,
a number of other successful indoor miniature world attractions
have opened across Europe, including Grand Market Russia in St.
Petersburg, Russia in 2012, which has a stellar 4.8/5.0 rating
on TripAdvisor and Mini-World Lyon in Lyon France, in 2016,
which attracted 200,000 visitors in its first year.

ATTRACTION INFO
The Math - Small is Big
The math in the attractions industry is a
straight forward formula......
We're creating an immersive
experience that will attract tourists and residents, adults and
children, business people and students alike. We will open with
two regions to explore, in one Greenville, SC location and the
newest version of the Christmas Model Train Display™ (a holiday
favorite from 2011-2015). And the plan is to launch a new
destination every other year, to attract up to 500,000 or more
visitors per year. Our revenue will come from admissions, food
and beverage, 3D printed and miniature gifts, and corporate and
social events. This is a place where people will want to
celebrate special occasions and have group meetings and filed
trips.
But initial startup capital needs to come for investors and
donors!
The BETA Test version in downtown generated 80,000 visitors
from around the world in its opening in 2013 to the last year of
operation from July 2014-2015. This was done with very little
advertising and the with little lack of parking in the downtown
Greenville Falls Park Area of the West End.
Imagine what could have been down with parking in the area!
Small World, Big Media
The Miniature World Of Trains BETA™ Test has
generated numerous media broadcast and media. And this will
continue as the Miniature World of Trains™ (MWOTSC™ ) moves
forward.
