COME JOIN US!
The Newbern Depot Museum is in the process of trying to upgrade its most popular trains, and that is the large Lionel layouts as you first come in. We are in the process of attempting to acquire Illinois Central locomotives, like the one pictured, as well as additional layout buildings. Lionel's are expensive, and we would like the community's help in funding this. If you would like to provide funding for these trains, please contact Lynn Willis at 731-676-1870. Any amount will help.
