    Hear that whistle off in the distance? It’s coming from the Adventure Science Center. Whistlestop Weekend returns for the 25th year, heralding the beginning of the holidays and delighting young and old with a dizzying array of magical model trains.

    Adventure Science Center’s own Lionel O train will run on a double loop track, and visitors can control the elements on the display with buttons and levers. Another train, built especially for young children, will feature the beloved Thomas the Tank Engine, who travels through a winter wonderland right at kids’ eye level.

    Local train enthusiasts from around Middle Tennessee also will display an array of model trains of all sizes, including N and G scales and Standard S and HO gauges. These experts will also share their locomotive knowledge with visitors throughout the three-day event.

    Adventure Science Center also will host an array of train-themed activities, including special performances by Conductor Jack of the Zinghoppers, a children's music group.
