Model Train Show - Mystic Seaport Museum

The Narragansett Bay Railway & Navigation Co. is a 1:48 scale On30 modular model railroad that is part of the local Mystic Seaport Ship Modelers. As a narrow-gauge short line, the NBR&N winds its way through marshes, and sand dunes to small ports along the fringes of Rhode Island's fabled Narragansett Bay. These narrow free-form modules of coves, inlets, and bays showcase early 20th-century trains lumbering through a maritime Southern New England coastal environment. Although the NBR&N is fictional, its inspiration comes from the narrow-gauge lines on both Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket as well as the old standard gauge Providence, Warren, and Bristol branch of the New Haven Railroad. The setup is a compact point to point layout. This show is organized by the Mystic Seaport Ship Modelers (MSSM), a special interest group of Members, Volunteers, and Staff based at Mystic Seaport Museum. Members of the MSSM will be present to answer questions and chat with visitors throughout the duration of the show.
