    EVERYONE is invited to our semi-annual Sale.  If you are interested in renting one or more tables at our shows, please go to our Vendor Registration page.  By the time March & November roll around, we all need some relief from cabin-fever or leaf raking.  And model railroaders (always!) need new equipment for our layouts.  

    Our March show is planned for the second Saturday of the month -- before the last snowfall.  (Don't ask how we schedule that snowfall.)  This is an opportunity to get the parts you need to finish your railroad projects before you go to the beach.   Our November show is also planned for second Saturday of the month -- before the Thanksgiving & Christmas holidays.  This is a chance to start your holiday shopping and, we railroaders (always!) need new things for our layouts.  Once in a while,a March or November needs to be rescheduled (usually to the 1st or 3rd Saturday).  So keep an eye on our Facebook page and our web site for possible rescheduling.  

The following is still in development.
    In keeping with our educational mission to explain the importance of railroads to the growth of Virginia's industrial base, we hold 'train shows' where vendors and other individuals have an opportunity to display and sell model railroading and railroad-related items -- including models, railroad artifacts, books and magazines about scale and full-size railroads.  Various model train layouts may be operated for public viewing.  Our members will be present to describe model railroad and full-scale railroad operations.  We will answer modeling and railroad questions.  

Be careful of the March dates!  The March Saturday is an error for 2026.  For March 2026 the date will be the 21st, the third Saturday (2026).
