Dickens Festival 2025 The Reed Family Train Project - Tiny Tim's Train Station

A wonderfully decked out for Christmas model train exhibit at the Harbormaster's Building presented by the The Reed Family Train Project. A stunning and captivating display to charm the entire family.

Beginning in 1763, Scottish engineer James Watt tinkered with the original steam engine design that led to the first steam engine train built by British engineer George Stephenson that could haul up to 30 tons of coal at a breakneck speed. Charles Dickens was so amazed by this new invention, he named a powerful new breed of locomotive the Pegasus, saying "If it had spread its wings and flew away, no one would be a bit surprised."

Toys for Tots is also using the Harbormaster's Building as a drop-off. Festival visitors are encouraged to bring new, unwrapped toys for the collection box.
