Now thrill to five magical miniature worlds of model trains, a first-class journey for dreamers of all ages. RAILROADS ON PARADE is a 5,000 square foot indoor exhibit that includes the famous four season display: THE STATION, the breathtaking 110’ long HELLGATE BRIDGE display, NYC SUBWAYS, the 1939 WORLD’S FAIR, and the new-for-2012 PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND exhibit. These world-class million-dollar exhibits have been visited separately by over seven million people. The fascinating, intricately detailed exhibits, seen here together for the first time.
THE STATION, a holiday sensation in New York City for 20 years takes you on a fun trip along the Hudson River Route from New York City through the Catskills and into the Adirondacks with many surprises along the way including day/night lighting, neon signs, animations, and a working miniature 1950’s style drive-in movie. THE HELL GATE BRIDGE exhibit, originally on view in Williamsburg, Virginia, just enlarged to 110 ft., includes a fantastic 16 ft. reproduction of the famous Lionel toy train Hell Gate Bridge, high trestles, animations, and a winter scene with dozens of Department 56 collectable ceramic buildings. PARK AVENUE is an upstairs/downstairs view of Manhattan with busy streets above and subways running below. The 1939-40 WORLDS FAIR exhibit shows the iconic Trylon and Perisphere and features the famed “Railroads on Parade” exhibition with its “dancing” (back-and-forth) locomotives, (whose name we took for our attraction) reproduced in computer-controlled miniature. And, new for 2012, the amazingly realistic 140 Square Foot PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND exhibit with its computer chip controlled trains and special buildings such as the distinctive Prince Edward Island Lighthouses and the home of “Ann Of Green Gables.”
