Stamford Model Railroad Club’s annual open house takes place on Nov. 24 and Dec. 1, the first two Saturdays after Thanksgiving. Watch dozens of highly detailed model trains and trolley cars run through miles of city, town and scenic countryside on a GIANT 150-by-51-foot operating O-Scale model train layout. View scale houses and buildings with amazing attention to detail – inside and out.
Trains, trains and live entertainment for the holidays are available for kids and adults to ponder this Friday and Saturday afternoon at the Wilton Historical Society’s Great Trains Holiday Show.
Dressed for the holidays, the Wilton Historical Society’s historic 18th and 19th century buildings are transformed into a train-lovers delight with many different model train layouts winding through tiny towns with a variety of different kinds of buildings, tunnels and landscapes! The model train displays enchant visitors of all ages with lots of buttons to push and knowledgeable “train engineers” on hand to “talk trains.”
In a special train room for the youngest guests, Thomas the Tank Engine and Brio trains are ready for hands-on fun. New this year: Model trains are tooting upstairs in the Toy Loft, which is filled with the favorite toys of yesteryear, where the very popular Alvin the Chipmunk layout can be found. Model train enthusiasts can see nine layouts, including G, HO, O, N, S gauge and Lego trains. The Great Trains Holiday Show runs from 12 noon to 4 p.m., Friday, Nov.
