The Issaquah History Museums will host its sixth annual train show Aug. 13 at the Issaquah Depot (50 Rainier Boulevard N). The event, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. is free with museum admission, or $2 for adults/$1 for children. Family passes are available.

Model trains will be on display and in motion. The Northwest Pacific Z Scalers will have their z-scale (very small) layouts on display as well as a variety of other scales. Kids can put together their own train layouts using Brio trains in the dedicated play area.

The Depot’s own layout will also be operating in the Army Car. Constructed by Stan Espeseth, a longtime member and volunteer, the scale model represents the Burlington Northern line between Issaquah and Woodinville, circa 1975.

New this year is a presentation on Great Northern Railroads at 11 a.m. at the Issaquah Valley Senior Center (75 NE creek Way). Randy Dashoe, public speaker and train enthusiast, will be speaking on the history of the Great Northern Railroad.
