The largest privately-owned O-guage railroad in the country. Misty Mountain Model Railroad is America's largest 0-gauge train display - a 3,000 square foot layout with 14 0-gauge Lionel trains traveling on a mile of track over 12 bridges and 4 trestles and through 13 tunnels.
The layout is a fantasy journey through sights and cities in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. Highlights include a 6' bridge that raises to allow vistors to enter the display and a 12' trestle recreated in Tallulah Gorge, the deepest gorge East of the Mississippi. Some 300 pieces from Department 56 are sprinkled throughout communities such as Gainesville (GA), Copperhill (TN), Helen (GA), Kennesaw (GA), Atlanta (GA) and the Biltmore Estates (NC).
