87th Florida Model Train Show and Sale, January 11th and 12th

Over 275 tables representing dealers nationwide will have model items in all gauges and Railroad Antiques for sale. This is Florida's largest combination show, displaying items for both the "modeler" and "rail buff" alike all under one roof. The model railroader may choose from Lionel, American Flyer, LGB, Marklin, or Ives Trains from the past or present. The rail buff may focus on dining car china, lanterns, switch locks and keys, calendars, timetables, or any other artifacts the railroads utilize. Both collecting interests represent truly unique pieces of Americana.
