Train Expo Colorado (TECO) is a 100% National Model Railroading Association (NMRA) member club. TECO offers annual model train shows in Colorado Springs and provides an outlet for model railroad clubs and historical groups, excursion railroads, and vendors to promote their offerings.

As an NMRA group, TECO uses these shows to promote the National Model Railroading Association and the benefits of membership, along with modeling clinics and railroading presentations. While we have operated as a nonprofit for many years, we finally secured our 501(c)(3) status. TECO encourages youth to learn about railroading by offering Scouts the opportunity to earn their Railroading Merit badge, exposing them to Youth in Model Railroading, and testing their skills on a switch puzzle operated by the module groups. TECO's mission is to promote the hobby of model railroading. TECO provides information to help attendees learn about NMRA membership, local model railroading clubs, shows, and destinations within the region where they can participate in railroading activities.

This year's 2026 show is at a new location. Norris Penrose Event Center, in conjunction with the Norris Penrose Foundation, has created a reasonably priced venue for TECO. This year's event will be at 945 Lower Gold Camp Rd at the Norris Penrose Event Center.

Show hours at our NEW LOCATION will be:
Saturday, February 28, 2026, 9am-5pm, and Sunday, March 1, 2026, 10am-3pm.

Price of admission has been reduced $10/person (no discounts), $5/youth 13-18, and children 12 and under are free.

Tickets purchased on Saturday include admittance to the show on Sunday.
