Thousands of model train and locomotive enthusiasts are expected to pull in to the station that is the Monroeville Convention Center this weekend.

Greenberg’s Great Train & Toy Show returns to 209 Mall Blvd. 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

It’s one of the largest and longest running model train and collectible toy shows in the country, and typically comes to Monroeville three weekends a year.

The show was last in Monroeville in November. It featured eight operating train displays and more than 100 vendors. Between 3,000 to 4,000 people attended.

Some displays featured a North Pole Express or a Santa Express complete with a winter scene.

Pittsburgh S-Gaugers had an interactive train display with buttons children used to activate whistles, catch a mail bag, dump lumber and load coal.

Admission is $10 on Saturday and $9 Sunday. Children 11 and younger get in free. Parking is free.
