Through April 27 (Sundays): B.Y.O.T. (BRING YOUR OWN TRAIN) Budding empire builders can take the throttle and watch 'em roll on a super-sized model railroad in a day of family fun at the museum. Whether or not visitors "bring their own" HO-gauge model trains and engines, they are welcome to take the controls on the museum's giant 11' x 21' layout. Under the watchful guidance of museum volunteers, they'll guide their trains around the main lines, through tunnels and over bridges, past small towns, a big city, amusement park, and large railroad terminal.
