17 years in the making: See the Union Station reveal Thursday Dec. 20 at 7 PM

Tacoma, WA – The Puget Sound Model Railroad Engineers (PSMRE) will unveil the HO Scale Model of Tacoma’s historic Union Station on Thursday December 20th, 2018 at 7:00 PM at the Washington State History Museum. The model is the crown jewel of the PSMRE model train exhibit at the history museum in downtown Tacoma. The unveiling ceremony will include an appreciation plaque presented to Mr. Gail Hendrickson, who built the model, as well as remarks from PSMRE officials and guests. The unveiling is open to the public and takes place on Third Thursday during the museum’s free admission hours (3:00-8:00 PM).

The incredibly detailed Union Station model has been 17 years in the making.  Lovingly and painstakingly crafted my master model builder Hendrickson, it is the centerpiece of the model train exhibit.
