Program Description

Event Details

Stop in to JPL to check out DesMoiNTRAK’s fantastic modular train exhibit in JPL’s Large Meeting Room. Members of the Des Moines Model Railroad Club will be on hand to share their knowledge of railroad history and passion for model trains. The club plans to have two to four trains running during open hours of the exhibit. Take a tour through the amazing display and see if you can complete the DesMoiNTraK scavenger hunt.  

The exhibit will be available for viewing Saturday, May 17, from 9:00am to 5:30pm, and Sunday, May 18, from 1:00pm to 3:30pm.

The DesMoiNTRAK nonprofit modular train club started in 1984 and has been going strong for 41 years.  The club currently has 25 members who range in age from 14 to 84. DesMoiNTRAK participates in local and community events and specializes in working with local libraries to host modular train exhibits for patrons.
