About this Event

Golden Spike Enterprises, Inc. is proud to announce its 78th BUCKEYE MODEL TRAIN AND RAILROAD ARTIFACT SHOW AND SALE. This event will be held at the Ohio Expo Center, 717 East 17th Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43211, at the Lausche Building on Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. This location is conveniently located off exit 111, I-71.

Over 225 tables representing dealers from all over the nation will have model items in all gauges and Railroad Antiques for sale. This is Ohio’s largest combination show, displaying items for both the “modeler” and “rail buff” alike all under one roof. The model railroader may choose from Lionel, American Flyer, LGB, Marklin or Ives Trains from the past or present. The rail buff may focus on dining car china, lanterns, new and old books, switch locks and keys, calendars, timetables or any other artifacts utilized by the railroads. Both collecting interests represent truly unique pieces of Americana.

As an extra feature of this show there will be several large working layouts, including Central Ohio N-Track, Central Ohio S-Gaugers, and a large G-Scale layout for all to enjoy during all open show hours.

All attendees will be able to relive the glory days of railroading in Ohio when the Baltimore and Ohio, Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central Railroad were king.

Once again, this event will be held on Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm at the Ohio Expo Center, 717 East 17th Avenue, Columbus, Ohio at the Lausche Building. Admission is $8.00, children under 12 are free. Parking fee is charged.
