Lakewood Swap Meet

The Lakewood Swap Meet is a beloved gathering for model railroad and toy train enthusiasts held at Green Mountain Presbyterian Church in Lakewood, Colorado. Organized by the Front Range Model Railroaders, the meet takes place on the third Saturday of every odd-numbered month (January, March, May, July, September, and November) from roughly 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM, with sellers typically setting up as early as 7:30 AM.

Admission is just $3 for adults, while young attendees under 16 enter for free. Seller spaces include half-tables (around $7) and round tables (about $10). The meet is open to all scales of model railroad components, making it an ideal opportunity to buy, sell, trade, or simply browse a wide array of items—with lively community interaction among collectors and hobbyists alike.
