Trains Trucks & Tractors: Titans of Transportation 2026

By RF&P Model Railroaders July 7, 2026

All Aboard!! Two Weekends this July (11th, 12th, 17th, 18th). Saturday & Sunday, 9am-5pm. The famous 135,000 square foot Antique Truck & Tractor Museum hosts the RF&P Model Railroaders in a 9000 square foot showcase of O, HO, & N Scale trains.

Model Railroading is the miniature world you build in the palms of your hands. Life miniaturized! These veteran hobbyists with nearly 50 years of wildly popular shows, are “trained to be on track” with everything from the fun & whimsical to the realistic & prototypical. Train enthusiasts from 1 to 102 will find their eyes feasting on the wonders of locomotion. And there is more...

You will see Sailor Bob’s Griggs Valley Railroad that you saw on his TV show will be here, as will the RICHBRICK LEGO CITY model railroad, as we help welcome LEGO to our area! Also, check out Menardville, by River City 3 Railers and Mystery Mountain by Richmond Area NTRAK and see if you can solve the puzzle – where did the train go? of course you will see all that is in the museum, including: EL TURBO, a 1949 Peterbilt West Coast Super Truck with over 6 million miles; a 1950 Ford VA State Police car – the 1st year of the gray & blue; and a 1938 Minneapolis-Moline UDLX Tractor, the very 1st American tractor ever made with a cab (only 125 were made).

There are vintage toys, tools, bottle collections and so MUCH MORE! There is no additional charge for all of the train displays – do not miss them! The restaurant inside the museum serves breakfast & lunch every day (breakfast all day). Bring the children and the grands, get together with friends! You must see it all to believe it!

Our Experience at Titans of Transportation


Our experience at Titans of Transportation has grown into an annual family tradition. My youngest has been part of this event for years through his local model railroad club, so we’ve had the chance to enjoy it from every angle. If your MacKid loves trains or has a soft spot for big trucks and tractors, this outing feels like stepping into a giant playground of transportation history.

You’ll step into a space filled with motion, color, and pure transportation joy for kids and kids-at-heart alike. The model train layouts stretch across the room, each one packed with tiny towns, winding tracks, and fun little surprises that make both kids and grownups lean in for a closer look. Classic cars and tractors shine throughout the museum, and the toy displays have a magical way of pulling children in for long, happy pauses.

Kids love watching the trains zip around corners, spotting tiny animals and buildings tucked into the scenery, and chatting with the friendly hobbyists who are always excited to answer questions. Many little ones end up picking a “favorite train” and following it around the track like it’s on a grand adventure. You'll find yourself slowing down, wandering together, and discovering new things around every corner. Most families spend about two hours exploring, and it never feels rushed or overwhelming.
