The Twin City Model Railroad has received a brief
reprieve—it can stay in its present location at St. Paul’s Bandana Square until
spring.
According to a report by CBS Minnesota, the Museum has worked out a deal with its landlord to remain open
through March, 2016.
The terms of the deal include the Museum paying its
$30,000 bill to the landlord, and paying full rent and other expenses starting
in December.
By staying open through Christmas, the Museum can run its popular Christmas trains schedule, earning much-needed revenue.
After March, the Museum will look for a new location for the layout. However, the Museum’s toy train division, located in a separate
building in Bandana Square, will close Nov. 2.
Now the big challenge facing the Museum is raising
enough funds for the move and finding a new location. Museum officials estimate
they will need $250,000.
