A diorama 160-feet wide and 40-feet deep contained miniature railroads with more than 500 rolling stock in all. The trains traveled through cities, towns, and villages, across bridges, through tunnels, and past farms and factories. The display consisted of more than 3,800 feet of "O" gauge track, 1,000 miniature buildings, 6,000 trees, 7,000 gallons of water, and 300,000 feet of wire for the control system.
