Held at the Novi Expo Center at I-96 & Novi Rd., Exit 162, young and old alike will have the opportunity to experience scale model trains in action and the excitement that builds as they race along the 'HO' gauge rails.

Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa will recall wonderful childhood memories of classic toy trains that many of us had in our youth as they watch the trains travel in and out of tunnels and cross over bridges as they pass through the countryside. Watch the children's excitement as the passenger train arrives on time at the city's train station and freight trains deliver their goods to industrial sites throughout the miniature empire. For those wishing to build their own railroad empire, the display owners will be demonstrating building techniques used in the construction of the modular train display.

In addition to the train display, the expo will feature toy and hobby items from the 50's to today's hottest collectibles. Vendors and collectors will be selling new, used, antique and collectible model railroad and toy trains, toys and models, dolls, including Barbie, bears, and Beanie Babies. Three collector shows all under one roof.

Hours for the show are Friday, Dec. 29 from 5 - 9 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 30 from 9 a.m. - 7 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 31 from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. Admission for Adults is $6, Children 4 - 12 yrs. $3.
