This is the web home of the Greater Midwest Lego Train Club. We are a group of adult hobbyists who have teamed up to create an epic scale train layout made complete from LEGO® brand bricks. We have been displaying our layouts at various regional and national events since the early 1980’s.
From late 2010 through early 2018, we had the privilege of residing inside Brickmania Toys in Northeast Minneapolis, where we were able to host many public open houses. We appreciate everything they’ve done for us and look forward to future collaborations, but due to rapid growth in the company, we have had to relocate.
We have also had a long partnership with the Minnesota Transporation Museum/Jackson Street Roundhouse in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Currently, we do not have an exhibit there because the building is undergoing renovation.
As of March 2018, we are pleased to announce that our train layout resides at the Twin Cities Model Railroad Museum in Saint Paul. We look forward to creating new and exciting displays as we develop our collaboration with TCMRM!
We also periodically display at model railroad and LEGO fan events across the country and will post dates of our future appearances.

Wow…wow….wow… I’m a supervisor at the St. Cloud Public Library in St. Cloud, Mn. I found your site because I’m looking to bring in a lego club in the fall in correlation with a Lego building contest we’re planning. If there is any way we could have you here to display your amazing things, it would make me a very happy sandy. Please contact if you’re interested. Thanks!!
saw your set up in sioux falls south dak. It was greate . so were the people that I talked to at the display. thanke for being there. will try to check you out next time to the twin citys
I need to verify. It says you have open houses the 2nd Saturday of the month and that there won’t be any open houses in April and May but are you NOT having your Saturday open house then on the 8th of February? We have a Jr Train club that was planning a field trip for that day but it sounds like we wouldn’t be able to come on a Saturday until June?
Brickmania will be open EVERY 2nd Saturday 10am to 4pm as well as the 1st Thursday of the month from 5pm to 9pm. The latest information about Brickmania’s open houses can be found HERE.
Hello GMLTC fans, I thought I would post a comment to self-promote a little bit. I have been a member of GMLTC since 2013 and build quite a few MOCs at home or for Lego shows. Best way to follow my Lego adventures is on Instagram, find me @jessesbrickgalaxy
Thanks
Myself, Henry and Niko enjoyed your clip on the “CHOO CHOO BOB SHOW” that we catch on youtube. Such a good show for kids and kids at heart. It is an impressive LEGO layout. Henry is the train guy and Niko is the Lego guy.
Hi. Do you remember the layout you showed at the Hubert H Humphrey Dome? I noticed it on The Best Of I Love Toy Trains Parts 7-12. I do have one question about it though. The mining train looked like Thomas The Tank Engine. What LEGO pieces did you use to make him?
I’m looking for local Lego groups to join because I’m looking to collaborate with fellow builders to create a custom WW2 in large scale that would be a show worthy piece for toy shows and aircraft shows this year and years to come. I have blue print to make it balsam wood but I want to make out Lego bricks
I’m looking to join a club like GMLTC. I’M A HUGE LEGO JUNKIE! EVERYTHING LEGO! I have a lot of the modular buildings and own 99% of all the batman sets but my pride and joy resides in the trains and train stations. I own 33 different trains dating from 1965 to current and a have a few doubles. I also have approx 20 stations and about ¼mile of track . I’ve never have had to space to display it all at once. I also have millions of lego sorted and organized for easy building of new idea’s.
