Take your family and friends on a magical journey through the marvelously detailed world of model railroads at the Washington State History Museum in Tacoma December 20, 2024-January 1, 2025 (closed Christmas Eve and Christmas). The Model Train Festival brings railroad clubs from around Puget Sound to share their incredible, room-sized layouts. Every floor of the museum comes alive with trains. Plus, the largest permanent model train layout in Washington is always on display at the museum. Train operators will be on hand for questions and conversations. Enjoy trains on the big screen, where I Love Toy Trains and I Love Big Trains, from filmmaker Tom McComas will screen throughout the festival. The auditorium lobby will serve as a family room with toy trains, Legos, and more.
