Editor's note: Sadly, the Foss Waterway Seaport has had to CANCEL the model train show for 2024.
Join us for the 3rd Annual Rails to Sails Train Show at the Seaport, regular museum admission rates apply.
This year's model train show will feature at least five model trains and open to the public on March 28th to March 30th from 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM. Model Train Show is included with regular paid museum admission.
The first display that has been present in all three shows is the N Scale modular layout presented by 4dNTRAK, a modular railroad representing the local Division of the National Model Railroad Association (NMRA). Displaying two different modular designs again representing the NMRA will be the 4dHO Modular Group and the 4dHO Free Mo Modular group; both of these groups are displaying HOS scale railroading.
The fourth display will be from W Trak will be exciting for our younger engineers. This display will feature wooden push trains similar to the Thomas Tank-engine style. W Trak provides custom track designs created specifically for the client. They present a high-quality product that any child, school or day care would love to have in their collection.
A permanent HO layout depicting the old Northern Pacific Railway freight yard that is directly across Dock Street from the Seaport that houses the Rails to Sails exhibit. This layout features two mainline tracks that can be controlled with the push of a button.
The N Scale layout will feature a point-to-point ferry, the MV Tacoma, that will transport rail cars from one part of the layout to another. While the 4dFree Mo Group will display a folded dog-bone design. The W Trak layout will showcase a variety of their products available to be included in a layout visitors may want for their own.
