Several years ago we approached "The Local Mall" regarding displaying during Christmas. Yes, they wanted money. BIG MONEY (Thou$ands). Needless to say we didn't do that.
We get nice comments too. My favorite was a Grandfather holding his grandson. He pointed to my scale brass 3rd Rail PRR 6200 Turbine pulling six 21" passenger cars.
"See that? That's a Lionel. When I was a little boy, Santa brought me that identical train set for Christmas." I just smiled.....
