United NorthWest Model Railroad Club is proud to announce its

The Washington State Model Train show is an All-Scale model railroad show featuring layouts and items for sale of all scales, including G scale, 0 scale, S scale, H0 scale, N scale, and Z scale. We have also featured displays of 7-1/2" Gauge live-steam operating trains. This has become the largest All-Scale model train show on the west coast, and continues to be one of the only children's charity fundraising shows in the nation!
