An entire fully landscaped HO layout to be auctioned off in western Manitoba

 Is is not just a farm equipment auction. An entire fully landscaped HO layout, with all of its rolling stock, accessories and structures is also being put on the block. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy an entire layout and everything else you need to operate it.

Mark and Jill Humphries sent us many images of the layout and boxes of trains that will be auctioned off at the Westwood ranch in western Manitoba. Instructions on how to get there are on the poster. Please note that the auction begins at 10 AM, and it would be at least a three hour drive to get there. 

 

Everyone had great fun at the WMRC's 2024 AGM and banquet

We'd like to thank all of our members who attended our annual AGM and banquet, held at the Canad Inns Polo Park last Friday. Everyone had a great time, and there were awards galore to hand out! 

We had an abundance of prizes to be won by purchasing an "arm's length" row of tickets, plus two elimination draws for an HO scale and and N scale locomotive and two beautiful railway themed mounted prints which were auctioned off. 

The club is taking the summer off, but please come to our next meeting on September 12 at the Charleswood Legion, 6003 Roblin Boulevard, at 7:30 PM. Have a great summer, and keep 'em on the rails!

We had a plethora of prizes to hand out at our raffle! Just about everyone who bought an "arm's legnth" row of tickets went home with a prize!
