The layout is 2200 sq. ft. and takes up the entire second floor of what used to be The First Evangelical Church at 21 N. 2nd Street in downtown Columbia, PA. When the congregation built another church in Columbia in 1954, the building became Shaub's Machine Shop. In 1984, the building was given to the Columbia Historic Preservation Society. Today it is still owned by CHPS.
Approximately 200 sq.ft of the layout depicts Columbia as it would have been in the 1920-1950 era. The reason for the 30-year time span was to allow both steam, diesel and electric trains to operate on the layout. Columbia buildings are scratchbuilt from old photographs in the photo album archives.
