The Greater Maple Valley Unincorporated Area Council is hosting its 18th annual Operating Model Train Show from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Oct. 17 and 18 at the Gracie Hansen Community Center in Ravensdale.

Trains will be displayed on creative operating layouts in most gauges. Attendees can bring their own trains (Lionel/HO/other) to run on the tracks, too.

The Black Diamond Museum will display historical sites and stories from the local area.

The suggested donation at the door is $5 per adult and $2 per child.

Kids can participate in the LEGO contest by bringing a pre-built entry to the event.

There will be two age categories, 11 and under and 12-18. One prize will be awarded in each category and entries will be judged on Saturday afternoon.
