"Shelf Queens: Model Train Masterpieces"

Miniature locomotives, sometimes displayed on shelves and referred to as "shelf queens," have long captured the creativity and imagination of model train enthusiasts. Once a children's toy in the late nineteenth century, model trains are now a fixture in collections owned by people of all ages. This display at the Louisiana Art and Science Museum features hand-picked model trains loaned by members of the Greater Baton Rouge Model Railroaders Club. lasm.org.
