Amherst Railway Society Railroad Hobby Show
The Railroad Hobby Show is an annual event sponsored by the Amherst Railway Society, and the largest railroad-themed trade show in America. Twice, the show has received the Walther’s Showmanship Award in recognition of our efforts to promote interest in railroads and model railroads.
The event features - operating model railroads, railroad historical and preservation societies, travel agencies, as well as railroad art, photography, videos, and books. Major railroad publications and model railroad manufacturers attend the show, and many use the Railroad Hobby Show to introduce new products.
The Amherst Railway Society has used proceeds from the show to support the work of many railroad-related nonprofit organizations. Since 1991, the society has donated $814,373 to railroad preservation and restoration projects all over the country.
