Do you have an old model train packed away in your attic or garage? Maybe it belonged to your father or grandfather, and you are not even sure if it still runs. Now is your chance to find out.

Bring those trains to the Neighborhood Old Train Round-Up Event. Thanks to our friends at Trainz.com, experienced train evaluators will be on-site to inspect your trains, test their operating condition, and provide an estimated value assessment. Consider donating the trains to support our Non-Profit Partner: Neighborhood Cooperative.  

While visiting, guests will also get a sneak-preview of some of the new neighborhood additions planned for this year’s Neighborhood Christmas Train display.

The Neighborhood Old Train Roundup will take place during the Opening Weekend of the 2026 Piedmont Pilgrimage on October 25, 2026.   

The Piedmont Pilgrimage is the Atlanta area’s premier annual tour of outstanding model railroads, sponsored by the Piedmont Division of the NMRA. The 2026 tour will feature more than 70 remarkable model railroads throughout the entire Atlanta region. The event is open to the public and completely free to attend.

The Pilgrimage runs for five weekends at multiple locations throughout Atlanta.
