Trains, Trains, Trains! -- Model Train Festival {W.S.H.M.}
- December 22, 2012 · 2:00 PM
While Santa’s elves produce a lot of train sets each holiday season, they can’t hold a candle to the quality and scale of the ones on display each year at the Washington State History Museum’s Model Train Festival.
The event showcases model train displays designed and assembled by model train enthusiasts across the state including: Boeing Employees Model Railroad Club, Cannonball Express, Pierce County Lionel Club, Mount Rainier N-Scale, 4D NTRACK Group, 4D PNR HO Modular Group, Puget Sound Model Railroad Engineers and Washington State Operation Lifesaver. The displays occupy every floor of the museum and include the largest permanent model train layout in the state.
Model Train Festival runs from December 21 to January 1, and will feature the Polar Plaza Express, a ride-on train that will travel between the Washington State History Museum and the Tacoma Art Museum.
Meet next door at Anthem Coffee & Tea, as a group, just prior to the event.

Wonderful brown surgar latte at Anthems Coffee and Tea. Yummm.
Museum and train display was nice. A really good urban event close to the holidays. Tacoma is a nice walking city with a great public transporation system and lovely museums.December 22
