The Greenbrier Valley Model Railroad Club from Ronceverte is scheduled to be on hand for the event. The exhibit will be located on the second floor of the Visitors Center at 206 Temple Street, Hinton. The Greenbrier Valley Model Railroad Club began with the exhibition of a 4 x 4 n. scale model railroad borrowed from an Ohio Club at the Greenbrier Valley Airport during Christmas of 1996. H.O. scale modular style railroad, designed to be portable so it can be readily exhibited at any time an any place. Present scenes include a service and switching yard, a mining scene, and a typical railroad town called Elkview.
Plans are in the works to double or triple the present size in the near future, organizers say.
The model railroad has been displayed twice at the Greenbrier Valley Mall since its completion. This club began in 1980 and includes an HO scale layout that was started in 1985. The display is patterned after local scenes in Southern West Virginia and Southwestern Virginia. Each section is individually built and maintained by a member-owner. The modules include one major freight classification yard, an engine service facility, an industrial area and a number of localities.
