Went over to the Schenectady Museum to check out the model trains display which has been donated by the Upstate Train Associates. The exhibit ran in a oval shaped pattern with 2 tracks on the outter loop which had 1 train on each running in opposite directions and 2 shorter tracks on the inside that had a train crossing a working bridge and a trolley car running back and forth.

The set up and display were very impressive, the trains emitted real smoke which came from a small pellet place in the smokestack. There was a working cattle car that used a magnet similar to those that make magnetic football games work. It would push the cows up a small ramp and into the boxcar, then the conductor would lap the train around the track a few times, stop it and unload the cows.
