  • Model Trains, Toys From Jerni Collection Debut At New-York Historical Society
    December 11, 2012

    Jerry Greene got his first train set in 1946 when he was just three years old, from his father, Ben, a toy train dealer. He grew up in Brooklyn, playing with toy trains so it was only natural that when he was 18 and had moved to Philadelphia, Jerry started acquiring his own collection of trains, embarking on a collecting journey that would span 50 years. Today, the Jerni Collection (named for Jerry and his wife, Nina, who not only supported but encouraged his collecting) is making its museum debut at the New-York Historical Society, New York City, in the exhibition ⁈oliday Express: Toys & Trains from the Jerni Collection†on view through January 6. While the colossal collection numbers more than 35,000 pieces and fills six rooms in Greene⁳ 5,400-square-foot basement, the exhibition cherry-picks the collection to present highlights from the golden age of toy making in Europe †some 350 pieces in all and what pieces they are! Handmade and hand painted colorful train stations, model trains, accessories from well-dressed figures to working kerosene lanterns from renowned makers such as Marklin, Bing, Carette and Rock & Graner will delight viewers of all ages.
