America’s Largest Operating Model Railroad Show

Trainfest 2012 Sets New Total Attendance Record!

Thank you to all who helped make Trainfest 2012 a great success, with a new total attendance record. Check back here over the next few weeks for more photos and updates from Trainfest 2012.

Train enthusiasts from around the world and families continue to make Trainfest their destination for model railroading. Kids from 1 to 99 who have a passion for trains come to Trainfest to experience America’s premiere model railroad show!

Held annually in Milwaukee, Trainfest is a unique and exciting adventure for train fans of all ages. The event has something for everyone and features 200,000 sq. ft. of exhibit space – that’s about 4 football fields of model trains!

The new Kid’s Activity Zone was a roaring success with 8,326 kids dancing, playing, and enjoying all model railroading has to offer!

From Jason of Michigan:

Trainfest 2012 was my family’s 5th visit to Trainfest, and it was an incredible experience! Choo Choo Bob was spectacular!! We found the railroads in suitcases and the man who narrated his layout with a microphone and amplifier (with live fish in his pond) were both very unique and worthy.
