The 2016 Holiday Train Display will open on Friday, November 18 at the Maine Mall. We are in our usual place outside the Bon Ton with a 12’ wide x 50’ long layout. Please help us provide fun for children of all ages by running trains at the Mall. And please bring your trains to run while you are there. See the bottom of this page to sign up.
