National Train Show 2026
Join us August 1 & 2!
The National Train Show will be held at the Chattanooga Convention Center on August 1 & 2, 2026. Please join us for this historic event in the Scenic City!
We will have several hundred booths, product announcements, meet manufacturers, participate in hands on demonstrations, and view dozens of train layouts.
View the National T-Trak's largest layout! The National Train Show will feature an operating T-TRAK railroad linking 732 separate modules covering more than 10,000 square feet and consisting of over 93 scale miles of track! It takes nearly 2 hours for a single train to complete one loop of the railroad. There is a contest where the first 50 operators to complete the circuit receive a special edition rail car.
View Kato world's smallest TTrak layout!
Join Kato and participate in the Mini Diorama Circus build! Participants of all ages can build and decorate their own miniature railroad diorama to take home. Visitors will also have the opportunity to help build and decorate four miniature corner modules that will become a complete N-Scale T-TRAK layout.
