Today I finally made a visit to Corner Field Model Railroad Museum and Hobby in Middlefield, Ohio. I had planned to go sometime this summer. Then I was invited to join the Great Lakes TCA on a group trip along with the Massilon, Ohio Model Railroad Club. We first gathered at nearby Mary Yoder's Amish Kitchen for lunch. I was pleasantly surprised to see about 40 O gauge enthusiasts had gathered together. After a hearty meal and good conversation we headed over to Corner Field. As usual, photographs speak 1000 words, but you can't beat seeing something in person. Tom and his wife were in the store, and Tom Jr. had all the trains running in fine fashion! I had great conversation with all of them as well. What a great place they have built, and the space is already under roof for a 50-foot expansion. Here are a few photographs! Well worth the trip indeed!! It is right off US Rt 322.

Looks awesome!
Very nice layout
My wife and I visited earlier this year and I had a terrific time. Really enjoyed the layout and had a excellent time talking to Tom Jr. as he was running the layout. Tom Jr. said that an expansion was in the works and it's good to see that it is under way.

Sounds like you had a great day Mark. I’m hoping to take the kids there sometime this summer!
That place looks amazing! Road trip!!!
Mark great pics! That's a lot of trains and looks like it was very fun to watch. One reason why I miss living up north and Ohio.

We will be doing a full photo feature of Tom's (and family) fine layout in a future issue of the magazine. I'm also looking forward to visiting there in advance of the photo session since it's not a far drive.
Very cool Mark. Great pics.

Does anyone know how long this has been there. I left the Buckeye in 78 but do not recall knowing about this.

I was glad to post some photographs for everyone here!
Ron, they just opened in the last year or so. It is in a new metal building and very new layout construction.

Thanks Mark. Was just wondering if I had missed something the decades lived in the old Buckeye State.
