Thanks so much for the nice words. We try hard to keep everything looking beautiful and "shipshape" here. It's especially rewarding to hear from all the people who made that extra effort to make the beautiful drive from Lake George to pay us a visit. It really is only a few minute drive to see both Railroads On Parade and also our friends at Natural Stone Bridge and Caves Park. It does make for a great day out---and rain or shine at Railroads On Parade! Thanks again.Clarke DunhamOwner and DesignerRailroads On Parade

Several different layouts in different styles. One of the layouts was the one that was on display in the Citicorp Center in Manhattan at Christmas season for many years.Another is supposed to be Prince Edward Island and is so realistic that if you take a photo of it it is hard to believe that it is not real.When we were there in July it was for sale and I am not sure if it is still operating.

I have been to Railroads on Parade several times, as my husband is a model train buff. Every time we go, there is something new to see - the attention to detail, all the figures, the way the landscape changes from day to night. Wonderful to see. I hope everyone who created these amazing sets and who work so hard to maintain them, knows that their works of art are appreciated.

Thanks, Ken,As I've said before everybody here works hard and loves see the great reviews we get. It's a team effort. I may be the guy who all created the exhibits here, but it's the rest of the team that makes the experience you have at Railroads On Parade mean something special.Thanks,Clarke DunhamOwner and DesignerRailroads On Parade

"WOW" is one of our favorite expressions here, and if you stand near the entryway to these spectacular exhibits, that's the word you will most often hear, along with "awesome" , "geez!", "amazing" and many more breathless reactions like that. It's why the staff comes to work every day hours before opening so that everything will be "spectacular" for the visitor. And thanks again for you kind thoughts.Clarke DunhamOwner and DesignerRailroads On Parade

This is definitely worth the drive from Albany to Pottersville if you're a model train fan. It's way better than the train exhibits they've had in the past at the Schenectady Planetarium and "The Great Train Show" in December at the Concourse in Albany. The attention to detail with the scenery is amazing. Anyway, you'd better get up to see it soon because I'm not sure it's going to be there after Columbus Day. If they are going to move it, I think this would be a great addition to the NY State Museum in Albany since most of the scenes depict portions of the State.

I really enjoyed this unexpected gem. The layouts are incredibly detailed and the attraction employees are friendly and informative. The lighting in the hall and in the exhibits change every 7 minutes to simulate goeing from day to night. The hall is spotless and well maintained. If you are in the area, RoP is definitely worth a stop.

Me, my wife, and my son visited Railroad on Parade on a rainy day, hoping to enjoy ourselves doing something interesting and different while on vacation there. We were a little skeptical that we would spend a significant amount of time there, thinking we would be in/out in an hour or so. We were wrong! We actually spent about 2 hrs there. I could have spent about another 1/2 hr reading up on historical points described throughout the exhibit, but my son was "satisfied" (i.e. "done") after about 1.5 hrs. Overall, we were very happy to have chosen to visit ROP during that rainy day and will definitely visit again the next time we vacation near there. It should also be noted that the people working there are very knowledgeable about trains and are eager to share it with you. Take advantage of that! They are also very helpful and thoughtful...we left an item at ROP and they mailed it back to our home when we notified them of this.

I never expected to find such an elaborate FIRST RATE exhibit in this tiny town in the Adirondacks. The exquisite detail and magnitude of this exhibit gave us a lot of bang for the buck. The hostess was so gracious and really enjoyed sharing some of the finer details with us. Although I don't know much about trains, I really enjoyed the engineers booth and control panel. The scenery is really lifelike and It brought back a lot of memories of yesteryear and locations I have seen in real life. We have made this a regular stop to take guests every year. There is a gift shop and a video showing how the exhibit is created and installed. The ease of getting on and off I-87 and free parking are a big plus.

What a sad day for all train lovers and the region. Two wonderful artists that have pleased thousands for years have had to close because of finances. Truly sad and will be missed.
