Additional information, including map and other details can be found on our downloadable flyer here.
VENDORS:
In keeping with the museum's mission of promoting an interest in railroading and model railroading, we have priced our train show tables affordably so that licensed vendors and non-licensed individuals wishing to sell railroading and model railroading items have that opportunity.
Individuals interested in attending as a vendor should review the vendor flyer and either return with payment (cash or check) via USPS to ACRRM, P.O. Box 806, Waynesboro, VA, 22980 or email it to trainshow.acrm@gmail.com.
