There has been a magic about and love of trains ever since they were first invented: full sized trains transporting people and goods to far away places or the model train under the Christmas tree. Trains capture our imagination and let our spirits take flights of fancy.
This year’s Annual Train Show at the Seattle Center will let young and old experience the wonder of trains, past and present.

*“Exhibits include modular and sectional layouts in many scales, from "Z" to "G".

• The show features several opportunities to operate trains: youngsters can drive loop tracks and older children and adults on railcar delivery layouts.
• The Pacific Northwest Public Transportation Museum will have a large display of historical photographs and memorabilia.
•  Visit the Northwest Railway Museum's information table to learn more about their activities for young people. The museum, located in Snoqualmie and North Bend, offers rides during much of the year and hosts Thomas the Tank Engine each summer.

Several layouts feature Digital Command Control, enabling multiple trains to run on the same track at the same time, even in different directions! DCC uses handheld remote controls that communicate via radio signals to a central computer which transmits instructions through the rails to control chips wired inside each locomotive.

Come to the Pacific Science Center and learn all about the latest in model railroading while having a great time. And don't forget the kids and grandkids!”
