Atop the backs of benches in the main waiting room of New Haven (Connecticut) Union Station are display cases with model trains of the New Haven Railroad. They were donated in 2002 by Lawrence Scripps Wilkinson, a 1950 graduate of Yale College. The station itself is an edifice worthy of the once great New Haven Railroad.

Hey, Melgar:

Thanks for the info behind these.  I always enjoy looking at them whenever I'm in Union Station.  It's good to know the story of how they got there.

There are also O Gauge models in Penn Station in Newark, New Jersey.  They're high on the wall just before you walk out of the platform area into the main waiting room (on the West Side of the station).

The only problem with the ones in Newark is that you have to stop in the middle of a heavily trafficked area and look way up to see them.  I always get the feeling that, when I stop like that and expose my neck, someone's going to come up behind me, put me in a choke-hold, and relieve me of my wallet...
