Each show features hundreds of tables of trains, accessories, scale models and collectible toys for sale as well as huge operating exhibits, activities for kids, free seminars and educational opportunities, and much more.
The Great Train Show is set to take place on February 8 & 9, 2025, at the Indiana State Fairgrounds & Event Center, located at 1202 E 38th St, Indianapolis, IN 46205.
