I didn't get a satisfactory answer last year so I'll try again. Why are they open weekdays in the summer but not December? I would think there would be peak interest in toy trains leading up to Christmas; summer, not so much. Makes no sense.

“The Museum’s open times are geared to when the greatest number of visitors are likely to attend. You are correct that Christmas is a very special time for toy trains, and at http://nttmuseum.org/events/Holidays2019.pdf you can see some special holiday events. Since our location in Lancaster County, PA may require a bit of travel for some visitors, we have found that the Holiday visitation on weekends this time of year is higher on weekends than during the week. Since the effort to run all of our trains and provide staff can be costly, we match the hours to the attendance patterns. In addition, running all of our trains incurs the need for maintenance so that we can keep them in best performance for when the crowds come. We appreciate your interest.”

What about my question about weekdays?

The reason is because the staff is volunteers.
