The Niles Depot Museum is home to a railroad museum as well as 2 carefully constructed model train layouts. The model train layouts were built by the Tri-City Society of Model Engineers with great attention to detail. Not only are the track plans historically correct, the buildings and scenery are also accurately displayed to scale. The museum is always happy to receive donations of rolling stock and tracks from those who have perhaps outgrown their train room. Model train enthusiasts can join the enthusiastic team of volunteer docents who run open days at the museum.
