Local model railroading groups open up their club layouts to family and friends. Train enthusiasts of any kind are welcome.
This is your opportunity to see trains operating in several scales, from tiny Z up to G. There will be at least 7 operating layouts. In addition to the trains, you will see some excellent craftsmanship in model-building and scenery work. Do you like real railroading? Be sure to visit the miniature version of the former L&N Memphis Line layout and experience what it was like to operate a railroad to a time table. This will likely be a train show unlike any other you have experienced. We hope you will make it a point to grab a friend or family member and drop by for a visit. When: Saturday, November 17th, 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. Where: 4445 Malone Rd., Memphis, Tennessee 38118 Questions? Contact us here.
