What is a Go Card?
 

The Smoky Mountain Trains Museum is more than an ordinary museum. With its collection of 7,000 Lionel™ engines, cars, and accessories, impressive operating layout, children’s activity center, and gift/toy shop, the museum has something for everyone. The museum displays an impressive 45x24 foot layout with over a mile of track on three levels operating six trains simultaneously with steam and diesel locomotives. The display also includes an operating turntable with roundhouse, live cascading five-foot waterfall, freight yard with 400 cars, 12 animated scenes and over 60 scratch-built buildings. A second 15x21 interactive layout was added in 2006. The displays are made up of Pre-War (1901–1942) and Post-War (1945–1969) eras. In addition, over 2,000 Lionel™ engines, rolling stock/passenger cars and accessories from the Modern era (1970 to present) are on display throughout the museum or operating on the layouts. Located adjacent to the Bryson City Depot.
