The Lego Users of Central New York (LUCNY) will be
setting up and operating a 12 foot by 40 foot display of Lego Trains in Utica,
NY, during the Day Out With Thomas the Tank Engine event.
A
Day out With Thomas is sponsored by the Adirondack Scenic Railway and will be held June 18-20 and June 25-27, 2004 from
9AM to 5PM. The main event is a ride aboard an Adirondack Scenic Railway train
pulled by Thomas the Tank Engine. A host of other events in and around Union
Station in Utica, NY and the ajacent Utica
Children’s Museum will make for a fun-filled day for all fans of Thomas and
Friends.
The LUCNY Lego train layout will be housed inside the Children’s Museum on the
third floor. Come and see an entire city built entirely of Lego® Brand building
toys and watch the Lego trains speed along the various parts of the layout. You
will be able to speak with the creators of all the custom Lego models as well as
see some designs from actual Lego sets from today and years past.
Ticket price for the Day Out With Thomas event is $14.00 for ages one and up.
Advance purchase tickets required by calling 866-468-3401 or online at
TicketWeb.com All train tickets are reserve seating
for the time you selected and shown on your ticket. If your train ride is late
in the afternoon, plan to arrive one to two hours early to see and enjoy all the
other events and activites. The Dates for Thomas are Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday June 18, 19, 20, and 25, 26, and 27, 2004.
Because the LUCNY train exhibit will be housed inside the Utica Children’s
Museum, the display will remain in place and in operation during the week
between the Thomas event, June 21 thru 24. During that time, normal museum
admission of $4.00 per child or adult will be charged for all visitors.
Come and join LUCNY if you can. Bring a guest train and plan to stick around
for a while and chat. Note that if you are only coming to see the LUCNY Lego
display in the musuem during the days of the Thomas event, you need only pay
normal $4.00 museum admission. Parking is free any time.
One final tidbit--on permanent exhibit at the Childrens Musuem is an old Alco
Diesel switcher locomotive and a retired Santa Fe Super-Chief style streamliner
dining car. Also, since this event is held at Union Station in Utica, NY, you
can watch some of the many passenger and freight trains that pass by the station
every hour.

| For various reasons mostly due to the venue, LUCNY will NOT be participating in this event this year. In Lieu of this event, we will be having a local meeting to have some fun and play with our trains. This will likely be a two-day event; details to (...)
