Show favorites include the original Yankee Stadium, Statue of Liberty, and Brooklyn Bridge.
The Holiday Train Show is popular with families. Children love watching the trains and finding buildings that they recognize, while adults will be impressed with the detail and beauty of the New York landmarks.

This huge superyacht is so sleek you'd almost be forgiven for mistaking it for a floating limousine.This is no coincidence - the 'Sovereign' yacht is based on the design of a limo, and even comes with its own matching car.
And the vessel fit for a king could be yours, if you're willing to shell out a mere $132million - that's £85million.For that modest outlay, the happy owner also gets furniture designed by Armani, as well as a swimming pool and golfing green.
This picture shows the glass helipad and circling infinity pool which the lucky owner can enjoy
'We thought about a typical person on board one of these yachts and asked: how do they travel on land? Well - limousine,' company boss Eduard Gray told CNN. 'It's a very unique concept in the yacht world.'
The company claims that the boat's unusual design 'gives her an extremely low profile' - but a look at the yacht's extra features may suggest otherwise.
Sovereign's shape was inspired by that of a limousine, and it comes with a car of the same design
Designers Gray Design say the boat will be low-profile, but these computer-generated images may perhaps suggest otherwise
This 100-metre superyacht, which comes with an onboard garage
There is a glass helicopter pad, encircled by an infinity pool; 10 guests suites as well as the extensive main quarters; a private cinema; and a nightclub area which epitomises 'elegance and class' - according to Gray Design, at least.
The architects are also installing a golfing green, which can be converted into a god play area for an owner who preferred playing with pets to playing sport.And of course there's an onboard garage, to store the matching limousine which is an optional extra, or whatever other car the owner feels is necessary to zip around the decks.
Armani are said to be involved with designing the ship's interior furnishings
The yacht goes up to a maximum of 30 knots - fairly nippy for a vessel of this size, but perhaps a little disappointing for real petrolheads hoping to transfer to seafaring.
Photographer captures amazing images in a single droplet.
These incredible images are little drops of magic - capturing iconic images within a single droplet of water.
Photographer Markus Reugels spends hundreds of hours painstakingly trying to capture the impressive and beautiful images.Mr Reugels, from Schweinfurt, Germany, can spend weeks agonising over snapping the image just at the right moment - but the results are stunning.
This image of the globe from space looks uncannily true to life when pictured through a droplet of water. Photographer Markus Reugels spends hundreds of hours painstakingly composing these shots. This image has been flipped upside down due to the reversing lens-like effects of the water droplet.
In one of his images, an image of the earth from space sits neatly inside the water droplet.In another, the moon is brought into focus by a single drop of water, the flat image of the background distorted into a spherical result that appears uncannily true to life.
This image of the moon is given incredible clarity seen through the natural lens created by dripping water. Mr Reugels began taking the photos after he saw similar ones posted on an online forum. This image has also been flipped.
And in other humorous images, the Batman and Spiderman silhouettes are projected through the water.
Mr Reugels began his career as a family portrait photographer but began to take more artistic and adventurous images three years ago.He said: 'My pictures of the water drops are all taken with my self made setup rig - all handmade out of wood.
'I fix all my valves and flashes tot he contraption, and can put the image I want to project behind the dripping water.'Sometimes I take 500 pictures and only a couple of them are really perfect in my opinion.

This fleeting glimpse of a map of the world showing borders shows how the process can take flat images and make them look spherical.

Normally when a model poses for an artist, they are expected to remain motionless.But this model may struggle to stay still – as they are the actual artwork.Artist Alexa Meade’s technique involves painting directly onto the physical subjects that she is referencing, rather than using a canvas.
The effect creates an optical illusion as the 3D effect of her scenes is compressed into a 2D plane.Miss Meade, 24, grew up in Washington D.C. and had previously worked on Capitol Hill as an intern, before working on Barack Obama’s Presidential campaign.

These amazing pictures are the sculptures of artist and animal enthusiast Calvin Nicholls, who using nothing but sheets of A4 brings to life many exotic creatures including lions, pandas and zebras as part of his paper zoo collection. Each piece takes around four weeks to produce and in some cases have taken up to two years with Nicholl demanding up to £16,000 for his art. Strikingly realistic and intricately observed, his collection in total amasses over 75 pieces and is on display at the Follett Library near Chicago, Illinois.Nicholls revealed the preparation that goes into each sculpture, insisting: 'In the case of an animal over a dozen drawings are done to get the musculoskeletal features correct.
