Model Railroading > Train Barn in Portage MIDate: 11/12/22 10:02 Train Barn in Portage MI Author: GAPRoute Does anyone know the status of the Train Barn in Portage Michigan? It was a retail hobby shop with a very large Lionel layout in the second floor.The layout was featured in the very first issue of the "Classic Toy Trains" magazine. It used to be open to the public for a small fee.The owner passed away a few years back. At one time there was talk of the city of Portage taking it over but a major problem was handicapped accessibility to the second floor. Since then I have heard nothing. Has anyone heard anything currently?
