    Mix: a bunch of model train enthusiasts (including current and former train engineers and MBTA…read moreemployees); a former WWII building way out in the woods; a roomful of small, mostly male children and their people; beautifully sculpted small scale scenery that looks like a special effects set, some of which is still under construction, with model trains running through them. To the delight of the under-5 set, even Thomas the Tank Engine made an appearance. Open to the public twice a year, this is a fun way to spend an afternoon. The lighting is bad, the spaces are a little tricky, and it might be a little overwhelming to find so many people into model trains. (It felt like a comic book convention, but with trains.) For small boys--especially those like mine who are really into trains--this is a little bit o' heaven. It may even be a gateway into the grander, and possibly expensive, world of model trains. It may even inspire new wood, plastic, and/or Duoplo track layouts that will take over your living room. There are vendors selling books, model train DVDs, and yes, lots and lots of model trains, tracks, and kits. We were topped out after an hour. I'd also like to add that the guys there were very cool with photos being taken. Admission was $5 for adults. It is possible to get there by public transportation. The West Hingham stop on the Greenbush commuter rail line is across the extremely busy street from the driveway. Then you walk down the mucky dirt driveway under construction with no sidewalks that goes on for at least 10 minutes. Just when you start to wonder where this place is, the parking lot appears.

    Excellent visit for both the hobbiest and a family day out. There are three scheduled events during…read morethe year. Scout Night-mid January Open house for all scouts and families Spring Show and Open House-end of March Fall Show and Open House-end of October Use 19 Fort Hill Street, Hingham MA 02043 for your GPS. This will bring you to the entrance of Bare Cove Park. The entrance to the park is directly across the street from West Hingham Station on the Greenbush rail line out of South Station. Just cross the street and follow the sidewalk past the ball fields. Just a 5-7 minute walk. The other review is incorrect. The road is paved, lighted with street lights and has a sidewalk. Give the club a call for other events and openings. 781 740 2000 Fax: 781 740 8900 ssmrc.org
