For TMNY, the main issue is the location. Kingston, NY isn't exactly the easiest place to reach from NYC via public transit, and then you need to figure out how to actually get to the museum. While a relatively easy drive, the most obvious demographic (NYC area railfans) is less likely to own a car than even the average NYC resident.

That said, the fact that the fall foliage train this year left from Albany completely sold out with no advertising speaks volumes about the potential to draw a crowd. The Amtrak station parking lots were completely full, possibly for the first time ever.
If TMNY had a route of reasonable length with running equipment like BERA, its ability to draw a crowd from the *north* would be significantly enhanced.
