Visit to the National Toy Train Museum

Among the many railroad themed attractions in Strasburg Pa., is the National Toy Train Museum. (https://www.tcatrains.org/museum/)

I love antique toy trains, so on a cloudy Saturday a few weeks ago, Kris and I paid a visit. This is a neat place and if I’d been fifty years younger, I wouldn’t have willing left!

What I find fascinating is the wide selection of railroad equipment that toy train manufacturers have focused on over the years.

On display is everything from early electric locomotives, and Union Pacific’s Pullman-built diesel streamliners of the 1930s, right up to relatively modern machines including Amtrak’s Genesis diesels.

I made these photos using my Lumix LX3.

Stop in for a visit sometime!
