Nassau Lionel Operating Engineers

If you are a fan of model railroads. .. whether you are young or old, this is the place for you. While it is generally closed to members only, they open the club up periodically to the public for demonstrations during various holidays. This year is no exception. .. the club is open to the public for them to put on a holiday themed demonstration of their tremendous layout, while running multiple Lionel trains throughout the various switched tracks which is all very fascinating to see.
It’s great to be able to watch the young and young at heart marvel at the breadth of the layout, and it’s various themed sections, and there are various platforms available for the younger set to stand on to get a better view of the layout. Entrance is ALWAYS free, but they are always gracious accepting donations of all size if you are willing and able. Not to mention, they also have some train merchandise (hats, pins, train cars for your home layout, etc.), and generally have a raffle for a complete Lionel layout.
