For the first time in the history of the York Train Show, there will be an operating railroad in the Orange Hall Foyer. Brought to you by the Lionel Collector Club of America (LCCA) and the Mohegan Pequot 3-Railers (MPRR), Preston CT, this kid friendly and interactive railroad is built to impress – children of all ages. Highlighting one of the newest and fastest growing communities in O-Gauge Model Railroading, the LCCA/ Lionel FasTrack Modular Railroad System is opening the world of model railroading to the all generations. Whether you are a career model railroader that is looking to a new project, a young adult looking to start a model railroading empire, or family that is looking to share your love of trains with those closest to you and your surround community this is the railroad to see at this York!
On display for public enjoyment the MPRR 3-Railers' 14'x23' modular railroad consists of twenty modules, three operating rail lines and over a dozen visitor/ children-controlled accessories. For many children and families, the highlight of the show will be the opportunity operate one of the two Lionel LionChief or LionChief Plus locomotives moving around the O72 and O84 mainlines at near warp speeds. Drawn in to the sights and sounds of fast moving trains the low table height of 31" allows kids to fully enter the world of this model railroad like no other railroad since Kids Run Trains setup a railroad in the White Hall in the Spring of 2016.
Please don't be concerned. There are no barriers and there are no signs warding off youngsters from falling in love with the World's Greatest Hobby. This is done by design! Peer and parental supervision is required for the safe operation of this railroad, though history tells the MPRR 3-Railers that most likely cause of a derailment is loose fitting clothing often worn by adults.
Finally, if you are interested meeting with the LCCA's National FasTrack Modular Railroad Coordinator, Kevin Davis, he will be on site from open to close answering questions and sharing his love of Lionel Trains and modular railroading.
