Over 40 operating trains, trolleys, subways, and other vehicles on four display layouts, with lighted cities, operating amusement parks, a ski resort with skiers coming down the mountain, a working drive-in theater, and a rainstorm with thunder and lightning every hour on the half hour! We visited on a Friday and spent time talking with the builder of the display, a fascinating way to spend some time.
