Volunteers keep things going, Steam Up was a great experience. People of all ages were there. Having equipment outside and working was great! Parking is a issue with events.

Always love this museum!!! Keep the V&T alive! They even have a cool Kids train in the back of the first building yoh can look at, touch screen video booths, and a whole second building you can check out! This place is RAD if you like nevada history or train history! They also offer locomotive rides!

Take your time to read the signs and watch the animations. I learned so much and loved the feeling of going back in time. If you can catch a docent to point a few things out it's even better!

Is there a model train layout in the museum? And do they offer excursions?

Dante Medori (Dantelevator) | Oct 4, 2019
Mark Sloan | Oct 4, 2019

They have model trains on display in enclosed cases. They have excursions but they only have a limited amount of track, I think somewhere around 1 mile. For train excursions I suggest you look into the V and T railway. I think it goes from Carson City to Virginia City. Hope this helps.

This is a limited rail experience. They steam only as a part of historical value. The rails are only on the circumference of the property. There are excellent photo ops and the museum is very nice experience
