Veteran model train hobbyists can give expert advice about train repair and help estimate the value of some trains at the Model Train Clinic on Saturday, Jan. 4 in Fremont.

Do you have questions about model trains? Does your model train need repair? Veteran model train hobbyists can lend a helping hand at the annual Model Train Clinic on Saturday, Jan. 4, at the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums.

The hobbyists can give expert advice about train repair and help estimate the value of some trains. The clinic is from 1 to 4 p.m. It is included with discounted adult museum-only admission of $10 on Saturday, Jan. 4, or with a site pass that includes the museum and Hayes Home.

Kids 6-12 are admitted for $5, which includes access to the museum and to tour the home. Kids 5 and younger are admitted for free.

Train clinic participants can try running their model trains on the “Hayes Train Special” tracks. The display fits O-gauge, standard and G-gauge trains. They also can see the “Hayes Train Special” model train display, which is open through Sunday, Jan. 5.

In this display, model trains wind through a Victorian winter wonderland reminiscent of President Rutherford B. Hayes’ day. “The Hayes Train Special” has been a Christmas tradition at the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums since 1994.

If there is inclement weather, the train clinic will be canceled. For updates, visit rbhayes.org and the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums’ social media pages.
