Modeling Contest!

Modeling contest sponsored by 4 Track RR

There will be a modeling contest at the 2025 Great Lakes Large Scale Train Expo. The modeling contest will be composed of 3 categories: Custom Locomotives, Rolling Stock and Structures. All are welcome to enter and multiple entries are permitted. This presents the opportunity for you, the modeler to show your best work, current project or anything that you are proud of. Judging will be performed by attendees at the show. Prizes will be awarded for first, second and third place in each category.

You may register by clicking on the button below but remember, you must register each of your entries by April 25, 2025 (2 weeks prior to the expo) on our website.

Please note this is not a serious contest and is just for fun.

Registration for the Modeling Contest is now closed. We received a lot of great entries and look forward to seeing them on display at the Expo!

The Show is Expanding in Size and Scope for 2025!

Moving into 2025 big things are happening! The show name is changing and it’s moving to a new venue, the Metroplex Expo Center. The show is also expanding to include larger scales so you can expect to see G Gauge all the way up to 7.5″ gauge ride on trains and accessories. Just as in past years you can expect exhibitor/club display setups (All G scale or larger train related), Clinics (including clinics for kids) to improve your skills, hourly door prize drawings, concessions and more! Now that the momentum is going we don’t plan to stop growing the show anytime soon!
