Just so you know, you might miss the train Thursday - seeing as how it's scaled down to one and a half inches. Get it? At the 19th Annual Model Train Festival, every floor of the Washington State History Museum features model trains of all sizes and eras, landscapes, train experts plus the museum's permanent HO-scale 1,700-square-foot model railroad layout that portrays Tacoma and surroundings in the 1950s. The wee ones will go nuts over the Model Train Festival. Slip your budding trainiac a couple candy canes along the way and their little heads will practically explode.
19TH ANNUAL MODEL TRAIN FESTIVAL, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., through Jan. 1, Washington State History Museum, 1911 Pacific Ave., Tacoma, $8-$11, 1.888.BE.THERE
