UNION, NJ – The Holiday Train Show and Open House at Union County’s Model Railroad Club runs on weekends from Friday November 29, 2024 to Sunday, December 15, 2024.

The show features show train operations where special trains traverse the club’s huge 11,000 square foot layout.

Parents and kids can tour the trains and layout up-close, and get an insider’s peek at the expansion that’s currently under construction. See how track is being hand-laid, how mountains and scenery are created, and find out about the planning and engineering that goes into the club’s bi-level corkscrew loop. In addition to the HO-scale trains featured in the show, there are G-scale and N-scale layouts on display, a small play area, and gift shop.

By popular demand in celebration of our 75th anniversary we are pleased to announce that Jenny is coming home. Each hour at the bottom of the hour Jenny will make a return to tell her story of growing up on along our Trenton Northern railroad.
