Have Trains, Will Travel!
We are able to provide a traveling exhibit as one of our services to the community. This exhibit will contain layouts in HO, N and/or Z scales. It could be at a church, a country club, library, museum, nursing facility - anywhere that has the space and the desire for it. These will be fully functioning model railroads, some of which will be available for operation by visitors. The cost for this service would depend on the situation and distance traveled.
In addition, we will be offering another service around the Holidays of setting up Christmas train displays, including trains around trees, trains for parties, conventions or for any other venue.
Prices are very reasonable are very negotiable depending on the situation.
Please send an email for more details... secretary@mrmhr.org
Or call 757-816-8399

What's Happening with MOCA?
In case you haven't heard, the Museum of Contemporary Art at 2200 Parks Avenue near the beach is moving to a new building at Virginia Wesleyan. It will become vacant within the next few months. So, we at the Model Railroad Museum of Hampton Roads are putting in a serious proposal to the City of Virginia Beach to develop a space for model railroading and other cultural arts within the building. We're in the very early stages of this right now, but we're excited about the possibility and are hoping for the best. Wish us luck!
