We are having our 59th Annual Railroad Days model train open house on the following Saturdays and Sundays... January 4, 5, 11 and 12, 2025; and February 1 and 2, 2025. The times are from 1 pm until 4 pm. Featured will be 2 floors of sleek passenger and powerful freight trains in continuous operation, located at 900 East Macada Road, Bethinlehem PA, 18017. Join us as we keep a holiday tradition alive. The first floor 650 square foot layout features models of O, On30 and S scale steam trains from the glory days of railroading to the mighty diesel locomotives of today, including prototype sights and sounds. Operating semaphores and signals further enhance the display. Visitors can even operate specific accessories.
The second floor 800 square foot HO scale display has a multitude of trains in operation, including a loaded coal train powered by multiple locomotives winding through mountain scenery. A trolley travels between a village and a distant amusement park with both an operating ski lift and rides. Of special note, the roundhouse area continues to be reimagined.
Donations of $5 per person at the door appreciated, free for those 12 and under. We suggest those with children under 40 inches tall bring a step stool to make it easier for them to see the displays. Tables of pre-owned trains, structures, accessories and books are for sale. We share ample parking with St. Thomas' UCC.
