View of the Model Trains Exhibit at Morris Museum
Today, the train set is maintained thanks to the efforts of museum volunteers Ira Ginsburg, Bob DeGuarde, and Ken Zippler. In fact, Ginsburg was one of the original creators of the display and has overseen its development since the Nabsico days. If it weren’t for Ginsburg, who worked as a security guard at Nabisco by night and on the trains by day, the exhibit probably wouldn’t exist today. The original display barely resembled what’s on view now, but, over the years, he added more figures, more cars, and more track, sometimes at his own expense. Looking back on the display since its inception, Ginsburg views it as an ever-changing work of art. Rightfully so. With all the materials, time, and energy devoted to the display, preserving the trains and scenery has really been a labor of love.
