Model Railroad Show

Featuring an entire room full of elaborate train displays created by private hobbyists from across the state, the Model Railroad Show showcases scaled locomotives riding through intricate landscapes and miniature cities. Guests can also watch a blacksmith use a hammer and anvil similar to ones used to make locomotive engine parts like those on the train cars displayed at the Science Museum. Educators will offer steam engine demos throughout the weekend and “The Forge” will feature the fan-favorite, hands-on collaborative train scene build. To control the flow of traffic, the Science Museum is offering timed tickets for the Model Railroad Show.
