OTTUMWA,IOWA -- Ottumwans were all aboard for the 20th annual Train Show Saturday.

The show was held at the Quincy Place Mall. The free event included several toy train displays, and vendors selling various items.

It's sponsored by the Great River Railroad Club of Burlington, Iowa. The event is held every year in March.

Club President Tom Morgan says he enjoys seeing childrens eyes light up.

"They're enjoying it so it makes me happy. Not all kids can afford to have what we have. You tell them to start small. I didn't start with a big one to start with. I've collected more and more. I try to tell them that."

The show will also go on Sunday from noon until 5 p.m.
