Monthly Model Trains Showcase

Join us at the Fairfax Station Railroad Museum for our cherished Monthly Model Trains Showcase, a delightful gathering for model train enthusiasts and families alike! Every 3rd Sunday, from February through November, we invite hobbyists and curious visitors to explore the fascinating world of model trains, featuring either N or T scale exhibits.
Experience:
Diverse Exhibits: Marvel at meticulously crafted models, showcasing intricate details and impressive layouts in both N and T scales. Enthusiasts from near and far will display their latest creations, and the museum will highlight unique pieces from its collection.
Interactive: Experience live demonstrations on various aspects of model train operation, from basic setup to advanced techniques. Our experts will share tips on landscaping, scenery building, and train operations, making it a perfect opportunity for both beginners and seasoned modelers to learn.
Networking Opportunities: Connect with fellow hobbyists and the local train community. Share ideas, exchange techniques, and foster friendships with others who share your passion for model trains.
Family-Friendly: Families are welcome! Many of our volunteer conductors provide interactive stations where children can engage (‘drive’) with model trains, ensuring the event is fun for all ages.
Visitor Information:
Admission: General admission rates apply.
Parking: Ample parking is available on-site.
Accessibility: The museum is fully accessible to all guests.
