Overview
A visit to the Holiday Train Show in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory is an entire day of fun. Visit with Thomas the Tank Engine, twinkling lights surrounding replicas of historic landmarks and model trains speeding along more than a quarter mile of track and stroll through the 250 acres of the Garden's grounds.
The show's annual favorites: The original Yankee Stadium, majestic St. Patrick's Cathedral, and some of New York's most treasured Hudson River mansions will be on display.
New This Year: Pennsylvania Station
"this could be our most exciting building yet", says designer Paul Busse. The original Pennsylvania Station, NYC's main train terminal from 1910 to 1964, is this year's blockbuster addition.
Brooks Brothers Flagship
The Brooks Brothers flagship is located at 346 Madison Avenue at 44th Street in Manhattan. Founded in 1818 by Henry Sands Brooks as the first ready-to-wear fashion emporium in America.
Busee's Botanical display
I first saw this on a TV special last year and I bought the video. In the full length version, you actually get to go inside his workshop and watch his crew building the structures. It is facinating. On another subject, the G-Whiz Gang Video, they describe their lay out as a "g guage F scale model railroad" exactly what is that? I thought we were guage 1 track and G (multiple) scales.
