Don't Miss: Model Railroad Club's 25th Annual Show
Three February weekends of ooohs and aaaaahs brought to you by the Bergen County Model Railroad Club.
Perfect entertainment for kids and kids at heart, the annual Train Show is coming back to Pearl River.
For only $2 for a child and $6 an adult, patrons will enjoy an array of model train sets, consisting of modular and scratch built layouts presented by the Bergen County Model Railroad Club at the Pearl River United Methodist Church at 130 Franklin Avenue. Every year the arrangement changes, making the show fun and interesting even to the avid train lovers who attend every year.
The sets change from year to year—from mountainscapes to camping scenes—and there’s something new each day.

This is the 25th year the BCMRC has presented the show, which features four different sizes of trains: standard gauge, ‘O’ Gauge (Both HiRail and tinplate), ‘S’ Gauge (American Flyer), and On30.
Train enthusiasts and curious newbies can both enjoy the event. Experts are more than willing to answer any questions attendees may have. The event is perfect for someone who has always liked trains but never had the time or know-how to start this wonderful hobby, as well as little ones who will be amazed by the different imaginative scenes.
