member of the S Gaugers,
during the World War II era
and before several passenger
trains passed through Kings
Mountain daily.
“Trains were the primary
means of transportation,” he
said.
According to Crowell,
families would display their
expensive model trains only
on special occasions like
Christmas. Beneath the tree
was an excellent place to set
up the set. ;
Ware remembers local
merchants placing trains in
store windows to catch cus-
tomers’ attention.
The exhibit will feature
Lionel Freight model trains
from as early as 1919.
