If you guys are not familiar with Little Canada, check it out. This will be modelled on Hamburg's Miniatur Wunderland, and while no-one else around the world comes close to Miniatur Wunderland's size (there are several of these popping up now that MW is Germany's busiest tourist attraction), there is millions of dollars behind Little Canada. This won't be your next door neighbour's model train set, this is next level… (and I'm convinced it's coming here).

This may be a bigger draw in Europe where railfanning and trains are a bigger deal. In Canada trains are a means of transportation and not as popular as they were in the 40s and 50s.
This will come and go quickly if it is a model train setup. I hope it will draw in tourists because locals aren't going to flock there to see it.
That's the problem the Toronto Railway Museum has. People like taking pictures with old railway cars but they aren't interested in playing with or seeing model trains. It is why the Christmas Train Show flopped.
