Railroad Days in Alexandria - Aug. 4-5

by Jon on July 28th, 2007

 Did you love model trains as a kid?  If so, grab your engineer’s cap and climb aboard Railroad Days in Alexandria.

Members of the National Model Railroad Association returns with extensive HO gauge model trains and layouts, using their state-of-the-art digital command system. 

It’s hard to distinguish some of the models form the real thing, the detailing is so precise.
