Our Next Events!
Our next TWO events are the 2026 Holidays at the Manor House in Metroparks Hall at Wildwood Metroparks on Central Avenue, Toledo AND The Lights Before Christmas as the Toledo Zoo!
The "Upcoming Events" tab has all of the important dates associated with these two events. In some ways, this is the highlight of the year for the club! Come share the joys of the holiday season and experience some of our best train layouts and decorations.
