New Mexico, Clovis - Clovis Depot Model RR Museum

Clovis, NM - The Depot has been restored to its condition in the 1950-1960 era and has displays of historic documents and pictures covering its use since it was built. A special feature is an operating telegraph station. Artifacts of railroad significance are constantly being added to our collection. In May 1996 the Depot was included on the National Register of Historic Places.

The development of toy trains is reflected in four layouts: a Standard Gauge layout presenting Ives, American Flyer, and Lionel electric trains and accessories from circa 1920 to 1940; two O Scale layouts showing early 20th Century clockwork tin-plate trains of Great Britain, and Lionel and Marx electric trains of the 1930 to 1970 era; and finally, an S Scale layout of American Flyer trains from the 1940-1960 era.

The history of the railroad in Great Britain is shown by the 00 Scale Caledonian Railway Preservation Society Model Railroad. The engines and rolling stock on this layout tell the history of the steam locomotive from the "ROCKET", built in 1829 to the "EVENING STAR", the last steam engine commissioned by British Rail; and of the diesel and electric locomotives through the "EUROSTAR” high-speed train passing under the English Channel in the channel tunnel or “chunnel.”
