The Model Trains Museum is a private museum in the town of San Nicolaas in Aruba.[2] It covers the history of train traffic from 1875 to the present.[3] The museum is on the ground floor of a private residence, and includes model trains from England, Germany, the U.S., and Canada, and a number of model planes and automobiles as well.[3][1]

The museum's collection was initially started by the Dutch Mr. de Vries who had collected model trains his whole life.[4]
