Choo choo! All aboard for The Railway Museum of BC! Make this family-friendly destination a top priority on your Spring Break to-do list. The Museum is hosting the Sea to Sky Model Train and Hobby Show this March and you won’t want to miss it. Exhibitors and vendors will be on hand to answer questions and sell goods and products for train enthusiasts to take home. New and used model trains, diecast models, RC cars and trucks, and other toys will be available for purchase. Food, drink and snack vendors will also be onsite to ensure you are well-fed and can spend as long as you need exploring and learning. Children (and adults alike) will love playing with wooden and battery-operated Thomas the Train tables and learning to operate the model trains with sound and animation. Train enthusiasts of all ages will love viewing detailed operating model railways from visiting model train clubs.

Sea to Sky Model Train and Hobby ShowRail fans of all ages will love seeing the crown jewel of the collection: The Royal Hudson 2860 Steam Locomotive, which was built in 1940 and in use until 2010 when it was restored for the Olympics. Visitors can climb into the Royal Hudson and blow the whistle as they imagine travelling down the tracks on this exquisite locomotive.
