Another exciting season of model railroading begins at the Winnipeg Model Railroad Club's September meeting

To celebrate our 68th year of model railroading, the WMRC will kick off its September meeting with a special presentation by program director Ian Plett. Ian, who is a long distance truck driver, has amassed an impressive collection of rail fan photo he's taken from all across North America which he is going to share with us. He will also showcase some of the best rail fan photos from the award winning photographers in our club.

The fun begins on Friday, September 8 in the tank room at the Charleswood Legion, 6003 Roblin Boulevard. Please note that the meeting this month will start at 7:30PM instead of 7:00PM.  7:30PM had always been our meeting time before COVID. The canteen will be open, and we will have our usual model and photo display, and our 50/50 draw.
