35th Annual Model Railroad Show January 17 - 19, 2009

Model Railroad Show
One of our most popular events of the year is here January 17-19 and it's sure to transport you into the wonderful world of model railroading.

A Northwest family tradition for 35 years, the Model Railroad Show brings many creative layouts and different scales of models for you to enjoy. The event is produced in cooperation with theNational Model Railroad Association, Pacific Northwest Region, 4th Division. The group provides dozens of layouts, displays and activities that capture the interest of the general public about trains and train models. Exhibits include modular and sectional layouts in many scales, from "Z" to "G". Many are supplied by 4th Division members, and there are often guest layouts from other parts of the country.
