The 16th annual Northwest Arkansas Model Train Show is hosted by the Sugar Creek Model Railroad and Historical Society as a fundraiser for local charities. All work is done by volunteers.
Whether you're a model train collector and hobbyist looking to add pieces to your collection and layouts or a family looking for a fun way to spend the afternoon with your children, the NWA Model Train Show is guaranteed to be a good time for all!
*Two specialty displays, a rail car, and world class diaramas
*Door prizes for adults & kids, including free cupcakes to the first 60 kids through the door!
*Grand Prize Drawing: 2 roundtrip tickets on an excursion from Springdale to Van Buren on the A&M Railroad
*Bumpa's Classic Wood toys for kids for sale
*Usborne Books, Award-winning, infant to young adult, fiction and nonfiction.
FAMILIES & FANS:
- Step into a world of model trains and city layouts, including replicas of our own local sites!
- Interact and play with trains designed for kids to switch tracks, raise bridges, and sound their horns
- See what new layout surprises the Arkansas LEGO Users Group has in store for us - last year they wowed us with an entire miniature city comprised of LEGO block buildings, including a replica of The Old Mill from North Little Rock!
- Glean inspiration for a new family hobby to share
- And of course there will be at least one (maybe more!) layouts that will feature Thomas the Train and his friends for the kids to watch up close and even interact with.
- Other games with prizes TBA - last year we enjoyed a scavenger hunt - come out this year to see what surprises are in store for the families!
We'll have over 30 vendors with more than 100 tables with model trains of all scales for viewing and sale.
YOUR ENTRY FEE GOES TO A LOCAL CHARITABLE CAUSE:
The entire show is run by volunteers and is hosted by a non-profit 501c3 (Sugar Creek Model Railroad Club) and all profit from ticket sales are donated to local charity, yet to be determined for 2019. In the past we have given to Snackpacks for Kids, Children’s Advocacy Center, Salvation Army Angel Tree, Different Cancer Groups, Marine Toys for Tots, and more.
