RICHMOND, Va. -- All aboard! This is the 45th year the Science Museum of Virginia has hosted the Model Railroad Show. It’s a Thanksgiving weekend tradition for generations of Virginia families. The show is November 25, 26 and 27.
Our Bill Bevins visited the museum and got a tour from Timshel Purdum, Virginia C. Ellett Director of Education.
This year's show includes eight model train club displays in various shapes and sizes. There's even a LEGO train display! Two additional Model Railroad Show traditions are also back: the Teddy Bear Express ride-on train for young scientists and a blacksmith forging custom metal pieces live onsite.
In addition to the train-themed activities, there are numerous exhibitions that will all be open for guests to explore, including new interactive elements in The Forge and Boost.
