Model Railroad Museum Buildout (Norfolk)
April 10 @ 12:00 pm - April 12 @ 6:00 pm
FreeThe Museum is actively under development! We are working hard to create an exciting experience in model railroading for you. We currently have 10 operational layouts in all the major scales, a locomotive race track, and a Carrera race car track. Come on by and see what we’re up to.
Hours of Operation
We will remain open to the public on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, from 12-6 PM, so you can watch while the Museum is being developed. We will continue to have trains running on several different layouts. Admission is free.
The Museum Store is now open. We currently have brand items like T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, mugs and water bottles. We are current stocking shelves with pre-owned N scale railcars and locomotives, which we can test before you buy. A book written by our own historian Warren Leister on The Birth of Virginia Beach is also for sale. We are slowly adding more items. We can order almost any model railroad gear, scenery or train set in any gauge that you want. All proceeds over expenses go back into the Museum. So every purchase you make helps to support our mission to bring model railroading to the public where it can be enjoyed by everyone.
Our S.T.E.A.M. Program is in full swing. All students from K-12 are welcome to sign up. Learn how to use science and technology to build your own model railroad.
Location: MacArthur Center, 2nd Floor, near the central glass elevators. Suite 231.
