The popular Spring Fling and Indian Summer Toy & Train Shows returned to the Roxana Firehouse in 2022 after being suspended the previous two years due to the pandemic. These shows bring together more than twenty model train and toy dealers from all over Delmarva. New and vintage trains in all gauges along with accessories, scenery, power and track will be exhibited for sale. The Delaware Seaside Railroad Club sponsors these annual shows and sets up operating train displays which run throughout the show for visitor entertainment. A full snack bar is available. Admission is $6.00 and Children 10 and under are free.
The dates for the 2023 shows are April 29th for the Spring Fling and October 7th for the Indian Summer Show. These Saturday shows run from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. and are held at the Roxana Delaware Fire Hall.
