It’s a building-wide extravaganza for all train enthusiasts!

A railroad train is a collection of interconnected vehicles pulled on a track by a powered, lea vehicle called a locomotive. With the development of steam power, railroad networks were rapidly built around the world starting in the 19th century. Collecting and displaying miniatures trains has become a popular hobby. The term “train” is derived from the Latin word meaning “to pull” and “locomotive” from the Latin for “from a place”.

See a rail yard full of guest train displays owned and operated by model train enthusiasts. Engineers of all ages will love the train layouts and activities.
