Annual Model Railroad Open House

November 18, 2010

Schuylkill Valley Model Railroad Club

The Model Railroad Open House is “fun for kids of all ages”. See freight and passenger car trains rumbling over 700 feet of track, over high trestle bridges, through towns, around mountains and through tunnels along the right of way from Reading to Philadelphia. Hundreds
of buildings, vehicles, people and trees create realistic scenes on the 1,000+ sq ft model.

We are always “workin’ on the railroad”. Numerous buttons allow visitors to bring scenes to life! See Thomas the Tank Engine and try your observation skills on our new Scavenger Hunt. You could win a train set!

Admission is free. Donations are gratefully accepted.
