Amazing Model Railroad Layouts | Trainfest 2024 Show recap

Trainfest 2024 returned to Milwaukee in a new venue that was bigger than ever with 170,000 square feet of exhibit space. There were 50 operating layouts, vendos, retailers and train enthusiasts of all ages in attendance. We enjoyed seeing the layouts in all scales, Z, HO, N, G and even Lego WiLUG were running trains on their tracks. One of our favorites was a group that creates guage 1 replicas of the Thomas the tank series - all decked out for Christmas. And not to be missed is the Santa Fe all the way layout with the Blue Goose pulling the Circus Train. In this video we will bring you along to see the engines at work, and the incredible creativity on display at the largest operating train show. All aboard!
