RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Calling all train lovers in the Richmond area! The Model Railroad Show returns to the city this weekend for three days of train-themed fun.
From Friday, Nov. 28, to Sunday, Nov. 30, the show takes place at the Science Museum of Virginia and showcases all kinds of model train displays to celebrate nearly five decades as a holiday tradition.
“It’s been going on for 48 years, one of the longest,” said organizer Timshel Purdum. “These are local folks who take their craft really seriously. You can come see them work on their trains, and they do a great job of combining the science, technology and the art together.”
Attendees can expect to see intricate miniature cities and landscapes, nine model railroad displays, a train physics demo and a LEGO display, among new scenes this year…
