Posted

Rockham area resident Kevin Harr will have his train collection on display Saturday December 28 and Sunday December 29, 2024, for public viewing. 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM each day. Harr will be opening his home to anyone who would like to see his collection.
This magnificent collection can be seen at his home address 36829 175th Street, Rockham which is located 3 miles south and 1/4th mile east of Rockham.
Harr has always loved trains and started collecting years ago. When he retired from farming, he needed something to keep him busy in the winter months. He started putting his train display together by building dioramas which include a carnival, a town scene, winter, farm, and industrial scenes.
He competed the first portion of the room in 2017 people heard about his hobby and came to visit during the year. The first Christmas Open House was held that Christmas. A reporter from the Redfield Press came out to view the display on a cold winter day saying he would only stay for a bit. He stayed 2 hours! Harr’s display has doubled in size since then and he makes changes each year before the open house.
Harr tells guests “Don’t forget to look up as there is a train going around the ceiling. Harr has put a large amount of detail into his diorama’s. He is often searching online watching many how-to video’s and repairing trains. He is always on the hunt for “Just one more train.”
