WMRC October meeting's date has been moved to October 25 and features a virtual tour of Alan Saatkamp's layout

 

Alan Saatkamp's crew is having fun at an operation session on his Progressive Rail layout.

October’s WMRC meeting date has been changed to Friday, October 25. Our program for this meeting features our good friend, MMR Alan Saatkamp, who will give us a virtual tour of his spectacular Progressive Rail (PGR) layout, which occupies the entire 650 square feet of his layout room in Normal, Illinois. Alan has been our guest before, and he and his crew have made many changes to the layout since his last presentation.

The canteen will be open, and we will have our monthly model and photo displays and a 50-50 draw. The fun begins at 7:30 PM at the Charleswood Legion, 6003 Roblin Boulevard on Friday, October 25. 

Thanks to everyone to attened the 2024 Manitoba Mega Train Show

 

The Winnipeg Model Railroad Club wishes to extend a big THANK YOU to all of the happy people who attended the 2024 Manitoba Mega Train Show this past weekend! We had just under 2400 guests, and everyone had a great time! 

We also would like to thank all of the volunteers who made this show a success. It's not an easy task setting up and taking down the Mega Train ride, not tot mention those who manned the admissions desk  and helped out at the WMRC sales table.

The club made a near record amount of sales of used model railroad equipment this year at the WMRC sales table, and the proceeds will go to St. Amant, our charity of choice. 

The Manitoba Mega Train Show will be back next year at the end of September. Hope to see you all there!
