THANKS TO ALL THAT CAME TO OUR MARCH 23-24 2024 16TH ANNUAL MODEL TRAIN SHOW AND MADE IT A BIG SUCCESS. WE ALSO WANT TO EXTEND THANKS TO THE SIPPING AND SWITCHING SOCIETY OF NC AND TO THE CENTRAL CAROLINA N-SCALERS FOR BRINGING THEIR OUTSTANDING MODEL RAILROAD LAYOUTS TO OUR SHOW (PHOTOS BELOW OF THE SHOW AND LAYOUTS). WE HOPE TO SEE YOU AT OUR NEXT SHOW!
OUR MODEL RAILROAD LAYOUTS AND RAILWAY MUSEUM
The Carolina Model Railroaders train display and the Greensboro Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society museum is located on the west side of the Greensboro train station at 234 East Washington St. in downtown Greensboro.
Our HO and N scale model train layout display showing central and western North Carolina is open Saturdays 10am-5pm and Sundays from 2pm-5pm. We also have a small railroad museum display (below) with the bell attributed to the 1903 "Wreck of the Old 97" steam engine. Admission to all exhibits is free but donations are always helpful. Kids are welcome!
