Twin City Model Railroad Museum O scale layout

"On May 1, 1934, a group of modelers met to form the St. Paul Craftsman Club and begin building an O-gauge model railroad. From these humble beginnings, and through several location and name changes, the Twin City Model Railroad Museum has grown to a world-class museum. Now located in historic Bandana Square, the Twin City Model Railroad Museum is an exquisitely detailed model panorama of railroads of the Twin Cities during the 1930′s, 1940′s and 1950′s. This was a time when both steam and diesel engines shared the rails."

Model train shows are a great place to go to buy some merchandise, check out some displays and learn something about model railroading. The problem is they only last a weekend and then they are gone.

But across America you can also find permanent model train displays like the one at the Twin City Model Railroad Museum.

Here are some other photos of the museums O scale layout which are not from their site.

Besides O scale they also have a Toy Train Division (weekends only) to satisfy trains lovers of other scales.
