Manitoba T-Trak returns to the Manitoba Train and Hobby Expo

Manitoba T-Trak, seen here at the Winnipeg Model Railroad Club's 2025 spring open house, will be returning to the Manitoba Train and Hobby Expo this year. 

 Manitoba T-Trak will be returning to the Manitoba Train and Hobby Expo this year! This marks the second time the group will be exhibiting at the show. T-Trak is Manitoba’s newest and most innovative N-Gauge modular railway system. The modules are small enough to fit in a briefcase, and they set up on banquet tables. This frees members from the burdensome bulk of lugging their heavy modules from venue to venue and finding a place to store them. 

Come see this dapper and debonair group with their spiffy green T-shirts at the Manitoba Train and Hobby Expo on September 27 between 9 and 5, and on September 28 between 9 and 4 at Red River Exhibition Place, 3977 Portage Avenue. General admission is $12. Youths ages four to 12 get in for six bucks. Kids three years old and under get in for free!
