various days and times for visiting. See normal days and hours listed below.
Most Sundays, from 1pm to 4pm, the museum has “Fun Runs” where members are running trains,
lots of trains at times, in general on the railroad. This is a great time to come and see the railroad
and enjoy watching various trains running over the entire layout.

the prototype railroads, using a Train Manifest and following Dispatcher Authority of running.
Follow trains as they switch cars at designated locations as they travel the railroad.
Wednesdays and Saturdays are “Work Days”, where visitors will find members working on the
layout. From adding scenery to track work, building a scene to wiring circuits, various work projects
