To help bring you into this world, we have reinvented an American Flyer 302 Steam Locomotive. The S-gauge engine has been retrofitted with a lightweight camera typically found on flying drones. This small camera gives you a first-person view from the train engineer’s seat. Those who cannot join us in person can still be a part of the fun by heading over to our website and watching the live stream footage.
