Largest model railroad in western North Carolina housed in the historic 1902 train depot in Hendersonville, NC. A 100' X 20' HO scale model railroad based on western North Carolina in the mid 1900s fills most of the depot and a real caboose sits just outside. Artifacts from real railroads are on display throughout the depot. The club has a 60' X 12' outdoor G scale layout that is very popular. Inside, there is also a separate Thomas the Tank train layout for young engineers to operate, a telegraph and an old engine name Pauline. For those interested, we also offer a scavenger hunt. Just ask one of us for a copy. The Apple Valley Model Railroad is open to the public Wednesdays 1 to 3 and Saturdays 10 to 2. Admission is free, and donations are greatly appreciated.
