Sorry, have no info about NY area. But, back a few years around Christmas time, when my Mom was living at an assisted-living center, they put up a Christmas tree with a few fake gifts underneath in a common area near the front door. That looked so lifeless to me, that I asked if I could put a small PW oval on the floor under the tree. They were initially concerned about operational problems, but I convinced them that I could set it up so the engine only ran forward and would start as soon as they plugged the transformer in each morning.
Well, it didn't work as planned (problems with E-unit) and became a static display. But, the residents and visitors all liked it and commented on it. And, despite all the attention, everything from my childhood came home unbroken.
