The Big E hosts Railroad Hobby Show

WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) - The Amherst Railway Society Railroad Hobby Show draws thousands of people to the Big E fairgrounds every year.

It's a two-day festival that features hundreds of collectors and manufacturers of model trains.

Some manufactures and dealers are modeling their trains, while others are looking for new model trains to add to their collection at home.

The trains actually look like real trains that ran in New England in the 1930's.

If you're a collector or if you have children who are interested in model trains, this is definitely the place to be.

Doors opened at 10 a.m. to the public, and will stay open until 5 p.m.

Tickets cost $10.
