Train Shows 2025 & Events

We love train shows! Train shows are a great way to bring everyone in the model railroading hobby together and introduce new people to our passion for trains! We are pleased to offer a large variety of items at train shows-- mostly O Scale products, but we will bring other scales depending on the show and its crowd! 

The York Train Shows in April and October are probably the biggest events of the year for our store! We hope to see you there next time.

The Big E show held in January in West Springfield MA draws a huge crowd! We are expanding our products that we bring to this show, especially HO, N, & G scale items. 

Can't make it to a train show? Check out our local Tent Sales at our Greensburg PA store for more model train bargains! These will start up again in the spring.

Check the websites for the train shows before attending. Most shows are open to the public (at least in some buildings) but may require an entry fee and/or guest registration.
