Smoky Mountain Trains 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, Smoky Mountain Trains has something for everyone. The vast collection dates back to 1918 and features such classics as the 1934 Blue Comet Passenger set and the more recent Joshua Lionel Cowen Challenger steam locomotives.

Although just in the works now (2/2008) plans are to use Havelock's railroad depot and adjoining historical building for a railroad museum and gift shop. It may take a year or two as there is much work to do but it is great to see history saved.
