It is very impressive place! My son really really loved it. we are still so amazed by how much details and time mr Thomas worked on it. I can see he put himself so much dedication on trains and his artworks really amazing. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 At first we were so dissapointed that we came in the wrong time (our faulth not to check properly on the opening hours) but mr Thomas is super nice and friendly to come earlier for us. Thank you so much. Doesnt matter about the place & building but most important we had a super great time and the warehouse has so much and my boy loved it there. Bought all the complete selections of marklin my world. We wish you all the very best mr Thomas. Thank you so much for your hospitality at your warehouse. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🍀🍀🍀

The owner Mr. Thomas is really a nice guy, building this railway model for hobby without government support. The model is really amazing and full of details. Even the project is not yet finished, but highly recommend to visit it. The place is in an industrial building, you may think it is a wrong address when you visit there.

So happy to have found this hidden gem. It is not a real museum yet but it was so nice to have Thomas (the owner) spend time with us explaining the beauty of railways. Our family is definitely looking forward to spending more time there in the future and to see the beautiful builds materialise ag gardens by the bay
