Highlights from the Winnipeg Model Railroad Club’s 2023 Clinic Carnival

Dwight Kjartanson shows how a signal works on a real railroad by using 1/8 scale turnout points and signal masts from the Assiniboine Valley Railway.

Everyone had a great time at the WMRC’s Clinic Carnival held on December 8. We had four great clinics along with WMRC President John Bate, who handed out freshly minted NMRA cards to the members and navigated us through the NMRA website.

Our annual Christmas hot banquet was also held that night, and canteen operator Mark McLellan did a sterling job air frying all of those hot dogs for us while handing out a well stocked supply of donuts, chips and pop.

Gino Kost operates a G scale locomotive as he discusses the pros and cons of garden railroading in Manitoba.
