TrainFest, America's largest operating model railroad show, takes place at the Wisconsin State Fair Park from Saturday, Nov. 12 to Sunday, Nov. 13. This family-friendly show is a great way to spend time with your family and friends, and it's a true must-see event for any train collector or casual enthusiast!

Wander around TrainFest and you'll get to check out the latest model trains from top manufacturers, historical groups, and even see clinics and demos showing off the progress in the model train world. New layouts include the Galesburg City Job, Southern WI Sandhouse Crew, Consortium Layout, and many others. There's a kids activity zone surrounded by the tracks of the MLES Train, as well as a Make ‘n Take Clinic, the Choo Choo Bob Show for the kids to enjoy.
