2024 Christmas Train Show
We once again brought a lot of smiles to a lot of folks: many new faces and many returning to what has become a local Holiday Tradition for the past 2 decades. This year’s train show was scheduled for December 7th and 8th. We always look forward to this train show at the Grissettown & Longwood Fire and Rescue House and the smiles and interest provided by the attendees.

The Intracoastal Model Railroad Club’s Christmas train show ran from Saturday, Dec. 2 to Sunday, Dec. 3, at the Grissettown & Longwood Fire Rescue, 758 Longwood Road NW, Ocean Isle Beach.
A local holiday tradition for decades, many different sizes of model train layouts were featured in this large and animated show. The displays are highlighted with authentic train sounds and working accessories, adding “bells and whistle” to this popular pastime. Families and children of all ages were able to participate.
Lots of model train “stuff” was on sale, and the raffle prize included a model train set.

We often obtain new members at our Club’s railroad shows and this year was no exception. Our Club is especially hopeful for gaining younger model railroaders. The Club is on the lookout for new members who enjoy model railroad as much as we do.
Grissettown and Longwood Fire Rescue
Last year’s Train Show at the Grissettown and Longwood Fire Rescue was enjoyed by all of the Club’s members. It was awesome getting out and discussing our hobby with those in attendance at the show in spite of Covid-19.
