## About

A cherished seasonal spectacle for train lovers of every age, the Central Ohio Model Railroad Club opens its doors in Worthington for its annual Holiday Train Open House. Spanning over 4,000 square feet of detailed layouts, the clubhouse features intricate operating scale trains across O-scale, HO-scale, N-scale, and Thomas the Tank Engine setups. Children are mesmerized as miniature steam locomotives puff simulated smoke, freight cars haul festive cargo, and tiny passenger trains speed past snow-capped mountains, bustling miniature towns, and illuminated holiday villages. Club engineers happily explain how the digital train systems work and invite young conductors to press buttons to trigger crossing signals, whistle horns, and animated depot accessories throughout the exhibit.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Ground-level entrance with wide aisles between model train layouts; umbrella strollers maneuver through easily during peak hours.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Indoor clubhouse restrooms and seating benches available for resting parents and young children.
• Age Suitability: Highly recommended for toddlers, train-obsessed young kids, parents, and model train hobbyists.
• Sensory Tips: Layout rooms feature mechanical train sounds and gentle whistles; gentle lighting and friendly club volunteers create a cozy, welcoming atmosphere.
