Golden Spike Enterprises, Inc. is proud to announce its 20th TAMPA MODEL TRAIN SHOW AND SALE.

Over 350 tables representing dealers from all over the nation will have model items in all gauges and Railroad Antiques for sale. This is Florida’s largest combination show, displaying items for both the “modeler” and “rail buff” alike all under one roof. The model railroader may choose from Lionel, American Flyer, LGB, Marklin or Ives Trains from the past or present. The rail buff may focus on dining car china, lanterns, switch locks and keys, calendars, timetables or any other artifacts actually utilized by the railroads. Both collecting interests represent truly unique pieces of Americana.

To be included are Dick Estes' Layout “The Great Dog Bone”, “Fun and Disasters” Layout, Safe Layout, The Greater Florida Lego Train Club large working layout and display and the Central Pasco and Gulf 7 ½” gauge train and others.
