The Manitoba Hobby Expo is taking place on October 3 and 4


The countdown is on! The Manitoba Hobby Expo is happening next weekend! It's the biggest train show of the year, the biggest train show between Toronto and Calgary, and also includes planes, boats, RC cars, Hot Wheels, Lego, dolls and Pokemon! 

Most of all, this is your once in a year chance to pick up some real model railroad bargains from all of the vendors tables. Model railroaders wait all year for this show, and the serious bargain hunters arrive early. Be sure to check out the WMRC's many tables for some great buys. Proceeds from sales at our tables go to St.Amant. 

It's all happening at Red River Exhibition Park, 3977 Portage Avenue on Saturday, October 3 and on Sunday, October 4 from 9 to 5.

Two weeks to go until the Manitoba Hobby Expo


Two weeks to go before the Manitoba Hobby Expo! The WMRC will be there with several tables, selling model railroad equipment in all scales donated to the club. 

Please keep in mind that the proceeds of the sales go to St.Amant, so the dollars you spend at our tables will go to support the important work St.Amant provides for our community. If your wife complains at how many trains you bought, just tell her that the money you spent is going to St.Amant and you're making the world a better place because you bought more trains!

We'll also be displaying our new Thomas the Tank Engine portable layout, which was the hit of our spring open house. You can also become a member or renew your membership at the show. We'll have plenty of membership forms available! 

The Manitoba Hobby Expo is taking place at Red River Exhibition Park, 3977 Portage Avenue. That's right behind Assiniboia Downs. They're open on Saturday, October 3 and on Sunday, October 4 from 9AM to 5PM. Admission is $12.00. Youths get in for $6.00 and kids three years old and under get in for free.
