A large model railroad set with hundreds of feet of track and dozens of cars, engines and cabooses will be on display this weekend at the Klamath County Museum’s Eighth Annual Model Railroad Show, according to a news release.

The Klamath Rails Model Railroad Club will be operating its HO-scale train layout today through Saturday.

Hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. today and Friday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.

The museum will offer a discounted admission price of $3 for adults and teenagers. Children 12 years old and younger are always admitted free of charge.

Inside the museum
“This is one of the most popular events of the entire year, and it’s always a thrill to see how children react to the sight of these trains,” said Gloria Sullivan, a collections assistant at the museum. “These model railroaders go to a lot of work setting up the display inside the museum, and we appreciate the effort they’ve put into this project through the years.”

The club’s diorama has three main lines for long trains and also features miniature towns, farms, forests and train stations.

Members of the Klamath Rails Model Railroad Club will be available to answer questions about model railroading and provide opportunities for local residents to join a train group.
