During the first week in December until the week after New Year's Day, Harrington Wine & Liquors is bury with children and adults from all areas coming to see the display of the largest LGB train set in the Merrimack Valley area.
The creation of the train began in 1985 by the owner, John Harrington. The original size of the train was 4 x 8 feet, which grew over the years to 6 x 55 feet. Currently there are 14 tables, which are the foundation for the town-like scenery of the train set.
The display consists of three LGB trains that have their own sound system built into their engines, giving a more realistic atmosphere to the train set.

The scenery is a town comprised of detailed cars, people, skating rinks, a junkyard, corner stores, and a cemetery which are all highly regarded by the local residents.
Presently, the train has over 40 cars, which have been purchased from the Franklin or Connecticut mint.
It takes over 200 hours of manpower to set up and break down the train every year, but it's worth it to see the enjoyment of the children and adults who come to Harrington Wine & Liquors to view the train.
