I did not know about Volo till one of the posts here about the Chicago slot show .Someone said make sure to check it out. So I did a search for VOLO and came up with http://www.volocars.com (http://www.volocars.com/). 3 hours away from me ,hour and 3/4 are so from the slot show. My only thought was "ROADTRIP".I made some calls and gathered 3 of my buddies and off we went .We made a stop at the Museum of science and industry .Still very cool .the new ho train layout was awesome! Huge, with a scale Chicago downtown with working El train and night time lighting ! I bought 3 toss away cameras so we got lots of pictures I will post after they are done .3 quick hours at the S+I museum and we were off to Volo 1 hour and 15 min from S+I .after turning the wrong way it took us 2 hours real time. Looking for Volo off us 12 we found we could not miss the turn .There was a fully restored gas station complete with old tanker truck and fifty's cop car .Very cool .It had a big sign turn here for the Volo Museum .From their web site
