A.C. Gilbert's American Flyer Train Show
Price: Free
Location: Eli Whitney Museum
915 Whitney Avenue, Hamden, CT, 06517
The Eli Whitney Museum delves into New Haven's past to bring back a special tradition dating back more than 60 years: The AC Gilbert American Flyer Train collection.
At 3/16” scale, a six-foot-tall person rises a mere inch and one-eighth above the ground. Can you imagine yourself in this miniaturized world? To help bring visitors into this world, Eli Whitney has reinvented an American Flyer 302 Steam Locomotive. The S-gauge engine has been retrofitted with a lightweight camera typically found on flying drones. This small camera gives visitors a first-person view from the train engineer’s seat.
