Lionel Girl's Train

From the Children's Museum collection - the poorly selling "Girls Train" from Lionel.

More photos from the Children's Museum. It has a smallish O scale set up with some vintage Lionel pieces. The rock work on the scenery is impressive.

Ruben Wells engine

The Ruben Wells is a steam engine on permanent display at the Indianapolis Children's Museum. Per Wikipedia:

The Reuben Wells is a helper locomotive that was built in 1868. It was designed to push train cars up the 5.89% incline of Madison Hill in Madison, Indiana, the steepest segment of standard-gauge main-track in the United States. Weighing 55 short tons (50 t), it was the most powerful locomotive in the world at the time. It is 35 feet (11 m) long. The train is named after its designer, engineer Reuben Wells.

The display area is so dark its a challenge to get a decent photo.

Vintage Trains at the Childrens' Museum

Part of the permanent displays at the Indianapolis Childrens' Museum is a collection of vintage trains manufactured by Lionel, American Flyer, Ives, and others. The display is behind glass, so getting good photos is a skill beyond me.
