MOSH to double in size?

[Jason]

I can picture a loop system surrounding the Friendship Park/MOSH area running along the riverfront.  Even crossing arms where the track crosses pedestrian walkways...  could be a fantastic addition to the area.  Link that up with a rail history museum and it could even be a mini transit system to run people from one attraction to the other.

Sounds better than building a kiddle pool to replace Friendship Fountain.

Pullen Park in Raleigh, NC has a 1/3 scale railroad running around it. It also has pedal boats, a carousel, an arts center, an aquatic center, a full size railroad caboose, an Andy Griffith statue, tennis courts, baseball fields, picnic tables, and scenic paths.

It is also extremely well maintained and landscaped.

Nice find Lunican.  Any idea how big their system is?

Its probably half a mile to a mile long. If you look at the aerial of the park, you can see the track going around the lake: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&time=&date=&ttype=&q=Raleigh,+NC&ie=UTF8&ll=35.779964,-78.664443&spn=0.003177,0.005021&t=k&z=18&om=1
