The MWMRR club hosts this fun and educational annual event to raise funds to maintain the new operating 3-rail O-gauge layout at the Muncie Children’s Museum and repair and add new locomotives and train cars on the museum’s layout. These are trains seen on today’s railroads in and around Muncie and throughout Indiana and represent important transportation and logistical careers.
At the show, children of all ages will be enchanted by operating model train layouts in several scales as well as seeing circus memorabilia, railroad historical societies, and visiting vendors selling model trains to help you get started in this fun family hobby. Parking is free and food and cookies will be available for sale on-site as fundraisers for local Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops.
Come enjoy a few hours or the day with us and learn more about this awesome hobby.
