The Bay State Model Railroad Museum
Roslindale, Massachusetts
About the BSMRM:
The Museum is a non-profit organization operated by sustaining members. We are open to the public during Open House Train Shows which we have a few weekends each year in October, November, March and May. Open Houses are the best time to visit as we will have our N, HO and O scale layouts in top shape and running lots of trains for your enjoyment. Click here for more information about Open Houses.
On select Wednesday Train Nights throughout the year we also offer the chance for visitors to see our sustaining members working on the layouts, running trains in "operating sessions" and performing other activities that support of the Museum. Click here for more information about Wednesday night visits.
Finally, we are also offering a new General Membership for people who want to support the work of the museum to promote the hobby of model railroading in the Boston area. General members also have additional benefits. Find out more about General Membership here.
