According to an article in the current edition of Greenville Journal, the owner of Blue Ridge Hobbies and president of Miniature World of Trains hopes the initial phase of the expected 50,000-sf educational site will open in early 2012. The site proposal includes "a 30,000-square-foot layout of the country's well-known railroad scenes, a railroad history museum, restaurant and Ruby's hobby shop."

Where is "The site" located? I couldn't find it on the web site.
I don't think they have announced it on the website, but the website has many references to the Woodruff Road area near Magnolia Park (aka the old Greenville Mall site). That could be a hint.
The February 2011 news section of the MWOT official website indicates this project is seriously gaining momentum.
