Our dream is to make TrainTastic the go-to destination for having fun while learning on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and the world at large. We want individuals of all ages, local or tourist, train enthusiast or not, to have a comfortable place where they can appreciate all that goes into making model railways, trains, LEGOs, and more. Because, to us, trains aren’t just things that get from Point A to B: they form connections between people by igniting their passion and curiosity like coal in a steam engine! We have numerous goals for TrainTastic that we strive to achieve. We want to continue to grow the display of historical model trains. We want to expand educational opportunities to improve members’ and guests’ knowledge of modeling, model trains, and railroad history in both Mississippi and the U.S. We want to promote the Gulf Coast throughout the museum experience. Finally, we want to create the largest model railroad collection in the country and, some day, the world!
