The Solar
Express is chugging its way to the South Florida Science
Museum.
Energy
conservation and Florida history are the themes of the
outdoor, interactive science trail's new permanent exhibit.
You can push
buttons and move two model trains around a G-scale town. There
also will be other mobile displays, including a carousel
within the town that will need to be activated.
The Solar Express
layout contains a 1950s model cattle/freight train and a
passenger train.
The model town and
trains set up contains more than 500 pieces, including model
houses, windmill, farm and other items.
One child will be
selected to receive a model train set, a conductor's hat and
be the first to push the button and start the train.
When: Saturday, 9/1/07. Exhibit opening
kicks off at 11 a.m.
Where: South Florida Science
Museum, 4801 Dreher Trail N., West Palm Beach.
