Fun for the whole family. Enjoy a convention center full (40,000 square feet) of trains, trains and more trains. Featured are operating model railroad layouts (some as large as 24’ x 52’), a hands-on Thomas the Tank Engine layout for the children, swap/sales tables, hobby shop dealers and vendors. If you're interested in watching trains, considering getting started in the hobby, or are a seasoned model railroader, there is something here for everyone. On a cold winter weekend, there is no better place to be than among friendly, fun-loving model railroaders.

The show is sponsored by the Central Wisconsin Model Railroaders Ltd (a non-profit educational organization). Activities include promoting model railroading as a lifelong hobby and family activity, as well as supporting community events and organizations, such as the Portage County Historical Society.
