Guests will be able to view this fantastic display created by the Stoney Creek Model Railroad Club and to learn about one of the greatest hobbies in the world while using their imaginations to travel the old-fashioned way and see the country and its splendor. “We are so excited to welcome back the Stoney Creek Model Railroad Club to the museum and to have them use our spacious building for their displays. Our guests will be amazed and entertained” says Michele Dunham, Museum Program Coordinator. These HO gauge trains travel high and low past countryside and cities, over bridges and through tunnels, with each module telling a different story with great care and attention paid to detail – in miniature. A camera on the engine shows the “engine’s eye view” of the trip!
