The National Toy Train Museum has one of the largest collections of toy trains in the world, with models on display from the 1800s through the present day, plus all accessories.

The oldest toy train I identified: Fallow #400 Steam

The CM-25 Flying Scotsman, a one-of-a-kind
Commemorative Set (c 1969), toured the United States |
 |
| Märklin Central Station (c 1903) |
 |
Märklin Wonderwheel (c 1956) demonstrated
the traction of Märklin HO locomotives,
which by running on the inside track
powered the wheel to turn |
 |
| Children's train ride-on toys |
 |
O-gauge model railroad layout; at the museum trains ran
for short periods of time when a spectator pressed a button;
buttons also activated things like the hot air balloon |
 |
Popular these days is to have a drive-in movie theater
using a mobile phone or small tablet for the screen |
 |
Here also it was periodically night time; this O-gauge
display features Department 56 buildings (KSS) |

Yet some of the police force is at work,
perhaps frisking an alleged shoplifter |
 |

 |
| One display case was full of Circus Trains |
 |
Americana section of the Large-scale or G-scale layout,
which was popular for use in outdoor gardens |
