Nothing says holiday enchantment quite like the iconic image of model trains whirring by on their way to the North Pole. Dazzling both children and adults alike, the New York Transit Museum’s 17th annual Holiday Train Show features Lionel trains traveling along a 34’ long, two-level, “O” gauge model train layout. Departing from a miniature replica of Grand Central Terminal, the exhibition showcases our Lionel Metro-North, Polar Express, and vintage subway train sets against a new artwork designed by New York City-based artist Ebony Bolt.
