As with everything else in life, infantile FOX News reporters didn't really do the layout any justice...

I am glad to see they are still around. I used to take my kids there once or twice a year when they were younger. The kids usually seemed to enjoy themselves.

Do they have dozens of little minuature mattress stores on the layout?

No, but if you ask nicely and maybe donate ten bucks or so, perhaps they'll agree to place a little miniature asshole on some street corner.

The layout models an actual railroad in North Carolina during the 1950's, but I'm sure they had assholes somewhere along the line back in those days.

That would just encourage more Asshole Spotters. That is the last thing we want in Vienna.

Same stupid disconnect as above. The model is of a railroad in North Carolina some 60 years ago. There were no doubt assholes about there and then, but there is no connection to present-day Vienna.

The Vienna railroad figured prominently in the Great Mattress Battle of the Civil War...Union forces raided the mattress works in an effort to deny the Confederates a comfortable night's sleep
