Model Railroad Open House

A Mid-Atlantic tradition! During weekends in November, private train collectors and model railroad clubs open their doors for the public to view their exceptional layouts. 

View our demo displays:

November 23 and 24 from 12:00 – 4:00 pm
Free and open to the public. Rain or shine

Stop by the Marshall Steam Museum to see the Yorklyn Valley Railroad operating Gauge 1 on an outdoor demo track. And get in the holiday mood with a sneak peek at our O-scale display (static during the Open House) that will be part of a larger layout for the upcoming Holiday Trains at Auburn Heights event (December 7, 4:00 – 9:00 pm).

Please note: The Museum will not be open to the public;  both layouts will be outdoors and under cover. Parking is available inside the estate between the Marshall Steam Museum and the Carriage House.

If you’re coming out this way already, consider stopping by NorDel Model Railroad Club, a short drive away in downtown Hockessin.
