The Toy Train Division welcomes the Pines and Prairies S Scale Workshop

The Twin City Model Railroad Museum is proud to be hosting the Pines and Prairies S Scale Workshop at the Toy Train Division.The Pines and Prairies S Scale Workshop is an informal group of model railroaders who band together in support of their favorite scale 1:64 known as 'S'. They work on each others layouts and have formed the Midwest Railway Institute and Museum to preserve and advance the art and craft of model railroading and the simulation of railroad operations in the early 20th century. The display is a section of Dave Jasper's former model railroad, begun in 1961 and retired until about 5 years ago.

Come often to see layouts grow and change, as well as featured guest layouts. Plans include expanding to N, HO, S and G scale layouts. There'll be something new all the time!
