RICHMOND, Va.-- The 41st Annual Model Railroad Show at the Science Museum of Virginia presented by Dominion Energy begins this Friday.
The three-day event, which kicks off the museum’s celebration of the centennial anniversary of the first train leaving Broad Street Station in January 1919, is packed with activities and nine different train displays featuring various scaled locomotives riding through intricate landscapes and miniature cities.
