Great Train Show

Cal Expo, 10am, $9-$10

It’s time for you to kick your appreciation of model trains into high gear. Sure, you’ve got a Bachmann HO Scale Thoroughbred Train Set, but that’s amateur stuff. Show up to this festival and really get the goods. There will be hundreds of tables of vendors and enthusiasts showing off their miniature locomotives, their details—and, most importantly, showing off their passion for the hobby. Kids get in free, and there is a world of attention to detail that awaits you. 1600 Exposition Blvd., trainshow.com.
