The tools and methods are evolving as well. Newer trains can now be operated through Bluetooth, and 3D printing allows for more freedom in creating custom pieces like bridges, trees and buildings.

The model trains are running on Fridays from 6-9 p.m., Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sundays from 12-5 p.m. through the end of the year. Entrance is free.
