Lionel specializes in O scale trains. A variety of manufacturers make HO trains. While gauge distinctions may not look like much, overall sizes of model trains are quite different.

The display features more than 3,500 square feet of model railroad. On the first floor, see an O-gauge display that lets guests push a button to watch a man cut down a tree in the forest.

Railroad displays at Christmastime evoke an American era in which trains brought relatives, holiday gifts and childhood memories to town.
