There is a very old live steamer set in a garden outside the building, a gorgeous 4-4-0 in 1/8th scale in the lobby, a grand scale "sort of" Hudson in the museum store being used as a display, and a builders model of the Aerotrain in the museum itself.

Any photos available? I tried to access their website and couldn’t find any miniature train images at all. I’d be very interested in seeing what old steamer in the garden looks like...

Impressive displays. Any background on who made the steamers or what scale?
Didn’t expect to see the Streamliner when I opened the link. Also, the metal ties welded to the rails are 1915 vintage. The rail, at least is likely that old...

The passenger cars for the Streamliner are supporting display tables in the gift shop. If you don't look under the tables, you will miss them. When we were out there, nobody seemed to know any of the history of it and I didn't find any builders plate or such.
