Really fun thing to do for free in Pocatello. They open to the public every third Saturday from 10-2. The layouts are large and they have most scales on display. The members are very welcoming to families and have a train table for kids to play with as well as stools all throughout for kids to use to stand on and view the trains. There are tons of artifacts and historic photos to view as well.

I LOVE Trains. Very Interesting 2 Watch how these Expert Model Train Men Build their Train Tracks. --- their personal set of trains --- the landscapes. ---- history - memorabilia --- & They Love what they do &, R Willing 2 Share with Others. Plus, making it Complete. They R in a old Railroad Building right NEXT 2 the Actual Railroad tracks.... still in use. The Pocatello Railyard. Trains come & go Every Day & Night. They R the Best !!Happy New Year.

I did not dislike this place, I thought the place was nice, it was just that you couldnt see it all cause they were working on the bigger trains so that was a little disappointing, and then there was this old guy there that was apparently having a bad day, cause he was just plain grouching at everyone, so I dont think anybody liked that, otherwise it was great,my grandkids really enjoyed the trains they were allowed to play with

Great place to stop and watch some trains. They also have a large museum of train memorabilia from the 1900s to today. They are open the 3rd Saturday of every month from 10am to 2pm.
