Model Train Expo

The Railroad Hobby Show, organized by the Amherst Railway Society, is the largest railroad-themed trade show in America, showcasing all facets of railroad hobbies, including model railroads, railroad art, photography, history, preservation, and more. This extensive event occupies 350,000 square feet across four buildings at the Eastern States Exposition fairgrounds in West Springfield, Massachusetts.

Founded in the 1950s, the Amherst Railway Society aims to promote enthusiasm for railroads and model railroading, believing that such passions positively impact lives. Since its relocation from the University of Massachusetts in the early 1980s, the show has contributed over $814,000 to railroad restoration and preservation projects nationwide.
