Model Trains Chugging Through Museum Layout

The cars at Allentown's America on Wheels Museum are getting some company. An extensive model train layout now winds its way around the exhibits. The "Train Time" collection features 12 different displays. The program is partnering with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve's "Toys for Tots" campaign at the museum. >> BOB METZ: Our general purpose is to bring people in here to donate a toy, so that we can give that to the Marine Corps which they distribute through the Salvation Army to kids locally.

>> Visitors can support Toys for Tots by placing a new, unwrapped toy in the Mack Truck that sits in the museum's lobby.
