Kalmbach Media and Great American Train Shows will partner to produce Trainfest 2022, the renowned national model train show. The event will be in November at a venue in the greater Milwaukee area; details will be announced later.
The Wisconsin Southeastern (WISE) Division of the National Model Railroad Association has produced past annual events. This year the organization agreed to license Trainfest to the two companies.
“We are excited to have the show return after a 2-year hiatus,” says Brian J. Schmidt, Vice President of Operations with Kalmbach Media. “We plan to make this year’s Trainfest one of the best ever.”
Trainfest is America’s largest operating model railroad show. It has almost 200,000 square feet of exhibit space featuring as many as 70 model railroads in all scales. It’s a great event for families and hobby enthusiasts alike. There are fun activities for kids and up to 300 exhibitors, manufacturers, and retailers offering model railroad goods and products.
Kalmbach Media is a creator of model train and railroad content through well-respected brands Model Railroader, Trains, Classic Toy Trains, Classic Trains, Garden Railways, and Trains.com. Great American Train Shows produces more than 40 model train shows annually including Greenberg’s Great Train & Toy Show, Great Train Show, Great Midwest Train Show, and World’s Greatest Hobby on Tour.
Combined, Kalmbach and Great American Train Shows have a wide-reaching audience and vast experience in producing and executing train events. The WISE Division will continue to exhibit at the show.
