The event, organized by the Pro Loco of Tollegno, takes place at the Municipal Gymnasium on Via Mancini 4 and has been one of the most anticipated gatherings for miniature train and railway layout enthusiasts in the region for several years.

The gymnasium halls host static and dynamic models, miniature city and house dioramas, electric trains faithful to the originals, and other creations that testify to the passion and craftsmanship of the collectors. The fair and swap meet format also allows visitors to exhibit, purchase, and trade pieces to enrich their collections.
