Amazing! Huge and detailed layout. Beautiful and accurate to what the Lehigh Valley use to be.....which I wish I could have seen in person. Spend a solid 2 hours enjoying every minute of it. Will definitely be going to future open houses for more ideas for my own layout.

This is a fully scenic model railroad depicting to great accuracy the area railroads in and around Bethlehem. The crew of volunteers built this as a labor of love for trains and the rich history for Pennsylvania and part of New Jersey.This is worth the trip, the work is of professional grade! See the pics if you dont believe me.

Amazing model of the railroads and industries of the Lehigh Valley. Love the working signal system and liked recognizing many places I’ve been, represented in HO scale. Nice work!

Great layout with beautiful scenery. Perfect recreation of the Lehigh Valley (the place and the railroad). Great trains too - models Ive been trying to find for my own use for over a year and theyve got them in huge quantities running their paces on the layout. Pretty good selection of stuff for sale if youre a model railroader yourself. I highly recommend checking it out whether a die-hard train fan or a casual viewer.

I have been to a few Model Train layouts and this is definitely one of the best. Attention to detain and especially cleanliness (I have seen some that look old and dusty).I believe it was $7 to enter. I believe it is well worth it to pay to enter these Model Train places. It helps keep the Lights on, electricity flowing and the doors open!This location was strictly the train display you walk around, Not a model train shop, even though a few items were available for sale.(pay to enter type

Great layout though $7 cash only entry fee is a bit steep and discourages millennials and others that dont use cash

An excellent historically accurate HO-Scale representation of railroading in the Lehigh Valley in the 1960s and 70s. Great staff and a very clean building.

It is a terrific replica of the Lehigh Valley and beyond. Its a great place for all ages. You will be amazed at what these people have done in miniature. You are never rushed though the display and the staff is very friendly.

The Lehigh & Keystone is one of the best club model train layouts. The attention to detail is amazing, if you know the terrain the Lehigh Valley ran over you will instantly recognize many of the locations in the layout.If your interested in prototypical operation, then you should look into attending one of the operating sessions. Youll run a train from on point to another, make pick ups and set outs along the way. Following the 100% functional signal system that governs all the train traffic.

The single most underrated event in the Christmas city! A must see for anyone remotely interested in trains. Better than the train museum in Lancaster PA by orders of magnitude. Call for hours!

This is an unbelievable model railroad. It is almost impossible to describe briefly what awaits you when you visit here. The railroad is a to tack layout showing many parts of Northeastern Pennsylvania as well as parts of New Jersey. The Jersey Central Railroad, reading railroad, Lehigh Valley Railroad, Lackawanna, Erie and so many others are represented. Details are astounding in the track where his magnificent. If you get a chance to visit, or in the area. I cannot recommend it enough

After visiting the L&KV Model Railroad club for the first time its something special beyond anything you could ever imagine whether your a model railroader or not. The club and its members really did its homework by researching many familiar areas that once existed and many areas that still do exist. Because the club is in Bethlehem locals and even visitors from all over will reconize areas that once saw thousands of trains, buildings and very historic sites such as the old Bethlehem Steel mill, Union Station that saw passenger trains for both the Lehigh Valley, the Reading Railroad and many more. The staff is more than friendly and helpfull. Louis who is in charge of the scenery department makes wonders with all the stuff he brought back to life! You will not be disappointed,
