The Showcase is a model railroad reflecting the layout of the town of Cass and selective compression of the nearby countryside with a bit of modeler's license in the late 1930's. The layout reflects the railroad, mills, and logging operations in this time period in HO-Scale. A 35-40 minute presentation helps to interpret the layout as shown in the schedule. Another HO layout of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is available nearby by appointment or on Tuesday evenings around 5:30 p.m. A
