McKeesport Model Railroad Club begins its annual open house and holiday train show this weekend. Hours are 12:30 to 6:30 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays through Dec. 29.

Located at 2209 Walnut St. in Christy Park, the club's 2,200-square-foot model railroad depicts fictionalized scenes of Western Pennsylvania. The permanent layout is built in HO scale, about 1/87th of actual size or roughly half the size of larger Lionel-style trains.

The club, founded in 1950, also entered the parade for Irwin’s light-up night and McKeesport’s Salute to Santa Parade.

A donation of $7 for adults and $5 for children ages 5 to 17 is requested. Scouts, military personnel with ID and first responders with ID are admitted for free.

Santa Claus will visit with children on Dec. 14 and 15 and Dec. 21 and 22.

Parking is available in the lot of CP Industries, across the street. For more information, visit the club’s website or Facebook.
