Night Trains Are Here!

Night Trains season is a special holiday tradition at the Twin City Model Railroad Museum beginning this Saturday, November 2nd and running every Saturday evening from 6:00 to 9:00 pm through the last Saturday in February (February 29, 2020).

Night Trains season comes to the model railroad layouts in a magical way, the lights are turned down, the buildings and street lights glow warmly, setting the scene for specially lighted models of vintage passenger trains. The make believe town of Matlin is buried in a blizzard, and throughout the Museum the layouts are adorned with miniature Christmas lights and decorations.

This year Santa will be visiting the Museum on Saturday, December 14th AND December 21st! Bring your camera and tell Santa about the train you want for Christmas. There’s no additional charge to see Santa!

Night Trains takes place at the museum’s new location at 668 Transfer Road, Suite 8 in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Directions to the Twin City Model Railroad Museum can be found here: http://www.tcmrm.org/location-hours/exhibits-events/night-trains/

Admission to this special show is $15.00 per person and FREE for children age four and under. Discounted group rates are available for groups of three or more (max 10).

Will you support us on Give to the Max Day?

Help us build a world class museum facility!

Since 1934, the Twin City Model Railroad Museum has delighted families with our engaging model railroad exhibits and hands-on displays. We are proud to be the largest model railroad museum in the region, with over 30,000 visitors a year.

Museum volunteers have been busy operating and maintaining the displays and adding new exhibits to our space but we need donors like you to help us cover our operating costs and improve museum exhibits.

Last year, over 30 individuals helped us raise over $1,300 on Give to the Max Day. Can you help us reach our goal of 50 donors and $3,000?

Please help support this local landmark with a donation on November 14th! Donate now or schedule a future gift here:
