The Milwaukee Lionel Railroad Club Model Train Display, Festival of Trains will be two weekends in New Berlin in November.

The MLRRC normally holds two open house weekends each year. One on a weekend that varies in April (usually the first weekend) and the other always on the weekend immediately following Thanksgiving. This fall (2023) there is an additional open event that runs in conjunction with our November 19 Toy Train Show & Sale. The club will be open special hours on both November 18th and 19th. This is part of the Fall 2023 Festival of Trains.

Be sure to stop by our 3000 square foot facility and see our vintage toy train displays and our layouts in action. You’ll see a large exhibition of toy trains running, often from different eras and different scales and gauges. The main layout includes interactive buttons allowing visitors to operate over a dozen animated scenes. There are also a couple of small layouts where junior engineers can try their hand at operating a toy train and a new operating accessory layout for you to explore. MLRRC logo apparel and related items and limited edition club cars are offered for sale at these events.
