The 22nd Railway Meeting transformed El Trenet park in Benicàssim into a vibrant hub for rideable model trains, featuring nearly 40 convoys and a hundred enthusiasts from various parts of Spain.

Throughout the day, the venue presented a much more dynamic scene than usual, with a wide variety of machines and a festive atmosphere. Unlike a typical Sunday, when only four compositions usually circulate, the event offered a powerful display with numerous trains in motion.
Attendees had the opportunity to ride some of these small convoys for a symbolic price of 1.50 euros, which is allocated to the park's maintenance. This initiative allowed the public to enjoy the experience of traveling on these railway replicas.

"The most beautiful thing is the steam."

Joaquín Nebot · President of the Cultural Railway Association of Farja
Among the most notable attractions were the steam locomotives, which captured the attention of visitors and enthusiasts. Additionally, American electric trains, unique wagons, and two trams from Zaragoza, replicas of real models, generated great interest.
The Benicàssim circuit, with almost a kilometer of track, is consolidating its position as one of the most important in Spain for rideable model trains, as explained by Joaquín Nebot. Mayor Susana Marqués attended the inauguration of the event, which concluded with a fellowship meal among the participants.
