Children of all ages were captivated by the creations of the Northern Illinois Lego Train Club at the Arlington Heights Public Library Saturday.
A steady stream of Lego and train enthusiasts paraded through the Hendrickson Room to see Lego displays of monsters, robots, dragons, princesses, planes, spaceships, superheroes, and of course trains.
More than 2,000 people are expected to visit the exhibit this weekend, but cold temperatures and winter weather could change those numbers.
