All Aboard!

There’s a model train extravaganza coming to town this March, and it’s taking place at the Rochester Dome Arena on East Henrietta Road. Greenberg’s Great Train & Toy Show is an opportunity to discover what the model-train hobby is all about and get a glimpse of the incredible layouts that devoted hobbyists are capable of creating. There are free workshops on basics like how to build a model railroad of your own, as well as more advanced skills like making your trains and layout look ultra-realistic. Kids will be excited to take a ride on the Indoor Riding Train and Interactive Slot Car Racetrack. The train show is designed for children of all ages; for modelers, collectors and enthusiasts; for families in search of good old-fashioned fun; and for the simply curious.

Something for Everyone

The Greenberg show is the largest and longest-running model train and collectible toy show in the country.  It’s geared towards the general public and towards modelers and hobbyists, featuring hundreds of tables of trains and accessories for sale, huge operating exhibits, activities for kids, and more. Everyone, from beginners to seasoned collectors, can connect with local model train clubs, and with train and collectible toy exhibitors from across the country.
