Model Trains Show at MISci


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 01/15/2023
The Museum of Innovation and Science (miSci) will present the 32nd annual train show! This fun, family friendly exhibit will be on display all throughout the holiday season and FREE with standard admission. miSci’s Model Trains Show features a 19 x 27-foot display that weaves through scenes of amusement parks, a vintage Plasticville town, and freight yards and depicts how trains transformed transportation and impacted the growth of the country. Passengers, freight, and more travel the main loop as vintage equipment loads logs onto the short line. The display includes lighting, working crossing gates, and several new elements added for this year’s presentation.
