The WPMRM is a nonprofit organization located in Gibsonia, Pennsylvania, at the intersection of Rt. 910 and Hardt Rd. Our purpose is to promote and preserve the history of railroads in Western Pennsylvania through the hobby of model railroading. Our mission is: to continue the development of a museum which captures in miniature a portion of western Pennsylvania history; to expand the library which houses a collection of reference materials on railroad industry and resources on model railroading; to serve as an educational resource for the people of western Pennsylvania. This in part, is accomplished by the Museum's main attraction, a 40' X 100' scale representation of the tracks between Pittsburgh, Pa. and Cumberland, Md. set in the summer of 1952. In addition to this display, the museum also maintains a collection of historical model train sets and authentic railroad related items dating as far back as the beginning of the 20th century. The Western Pennsylvania Model Railroad Museum holds an Annual Holiday Train show each year starting mid-November and ending in mid-January.
This Museum strives very hard to maintain the origin of the period in all manor, from the lay of the land to buildings and locations of villages and towns. Many visitors make comments such as I know this place, we where Married in this Church to we got Ice-cream at this store. Much research was done by the members of this Museum, and painstakingly built the Railroad to as close as possible to the 1950's format and equipment. It is definitely a place to spend several Hrs and enjoy or just relax and watch the trains. As an hobbyist, there is much to learn from this trip. I must say this. Check the web for dates and times, this Museum is only open from November to Late January.
