I was there last year Ken. Stopped when my office took a ~4 day fishing trip on lake Ontario. I ended up buying ~$300 worth of vintage trains from the museum curator/owner.
I took a couple photos:

120 to be exact.
This was one of the locos i purchased that day:
Locomotive of the Week (LOTW)
LotW Aug 12 - Aug 18 2012
This si my LOTW:
It is a custom kit-bash of a Bowser 2-10-2 Decapod chassis, and long haul tender and an early Gilbert American Flyer boiler shell. There have been several details added it it really looks great! I think I plan on listing it this week, but I wanted to show it off first. I purchased it off of the owner/curator of the NYC RR museum in Medina New York two weeks ago. Just now getting around to opening the several boxes of trains I purchased from him. I paid a lot more than i would have normally, but I think it was going to a worthy cause.
ps: Great Pa1/Pb1 set Ken!
@ Tony, Man I wish you could sort through my junk diesels some times. I am sure I had that Alco at least a couple times.
@ Eagle.. That Bell unit is pretty cool!

John,
I think I sold it last year. It was a hodge-podge model in that the chassis was Penn line/Bowser and the shell was Gilbert. Very nicely done however.
