    Washington, Virginia and Maryland Garden Railway Society members will have a G-Scale train display running at the Fairfax Station Railroad Museum on Sunday, January 15th, 2023, from noon to 4 pm.  The WVMGRS will also have member owned G-scale trains for sale.  The sheer size of these trains is a wonder to behold as is their ability to run through the garden all year around.  If you've ever thought about running trains in the garden, this is the event to see these trains and speak with experienced people about this facet of the model railroading hobby.

    Northern Virginia NTRAK will set up and run trains on a T-TRAK layout.
    T-TRAK is an N scale modular train system designed to be run on table tops, hence its name. Originally developed in Germany in 1962, N scale model trains (generally 1:160) are about half the size of HO trains (1:87). Its small size is popular among model train enthusiasts in Japan, Australia, Europe, and the United States. The modular aspect of N scale permits different track layouts for every set up.
