For full scale, the Mid-Continent Railroad Museum is about an hour away in North Freedom, WI.

Just a bit further north, there's the Riverside and Great Northern Railway, running 15" gauge live steam. It's at the site where many live steamers were once built. Still in operation, but I don't know if there is any opportunity to tour  the build shop.

There is also Hiawatha Hobbies in Waukesha, again about an hour and a half. Good web site to see if there is anything of interest in stock.

If you have the time and want a good meal , go to the Harvey House. It's an upscale restaurant in a Milwaukee Road's station on Madison's west side. I recommend the Schnitzel but anything is good there. Little pricey but what isn't these days. If it's open, don't forget to tour the observation car turned into a 50's-60's bar & private lounge.
