I built an HO train layout on a 6x6 foot section of thick plywood. My layout includes a working silver mine, a southwestern U.S.A.village, a wharf with boats, and a farm with house, barn, and sheds. Most of the structures are scratch-built buildings. To complete it I want to add lights for the structures, people figures, and more scenery. Right now, I'm just running a San Francisco-style streetcar which will have to do until I get a decent train set.

This unique Model Railroad Museum was established in November of 2024 as a non-profit community organization featuring ten operating model railroads in all the different major scales, a STEM Program for students, historical displays, group tours and clinics on how to develop your skills as a model railroader. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
Open 12-6 pm on all Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through April, 2026. They will be moving to a new location after that. Will provide an update later this year.
Update: Aug. 2. 2026. Unfortunately, the MacArthur Center where our Museum was located has closed and we have been forced to evacuate our space there. Until we can find a more suitable place, we are temporarily located in a small office/store at 750 Lord Dunmore Dr., Unit #109, Virginia Beach, VA 23464. Our multiple layouts have been dismantled and are in storage nearby. The good news is that we have many items that are available for sale at greatly discounted prices. Our hours of operation are 2pm to 5pm, every Mon, Weds, Fri, and Sat except major holidays.The proceeds will be used to create a new and better museum once we have found the right location.
