WinNtrak returns to the Manitoba Train and Hobby Expo

Those friendly folks over at WinNtrak, operators of Manitoba's largest N gauge modular railway, will be returning to the Manitoba Train and Hobby Expo. The group has long been a staple of the show, exhibiting since the start of the Manitoba Mega Train Show. The group exhibits regularly at the Garden City Shopping Centre, Kildonan Place, Grant Park Shopping Centre, the Clearspring Centre in Steinbach and the German Christmas Market at Fort Garry Place.

Come see them, and the 12 other layouts, the 60 vendors and the 11 hobby displays 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!

Janzen's Paint and Decorating stores in Manitoba also carry model railroad supplies

 

 

WMRC Vice President Ian Plett sent us these images of the model railroad equipment in Janzens' Paint and Decorating in Steinbach, Manitoba.

We're getting more and more great leads on where to get model railroad supplies in Manitoba, and all across Canada! In Steinbach,  Janzen’s Paint and Decorating has a pretty good stock. They carry mostly HO but they also have few items in N gauge. They have stores in Brandon and Winkler that also carry model railroad equipment.

In other places in Canada, you can also check out Pacific Western Rail Systems in Surrey, B.C. , Otter Valley Railroad in Aylmer, Ontario and Canadian Express Line in Brighton, Ontario. 

WinNtrak to display at Clearspring Centre in Steinbach this weekend

It's worth the trip to Steinbach this weekend, especially if you're a model railroader! WinNtrak will be displaying their wonderful N gauge modular layout on April 7 and 8 at Steinbach's Clearspring Centre, the largest shopping centre in the area. The mall is open from 9:30AM to 9:00PM on April 7, and from 9:30Am to 6:00PM on April 8. While you're there, you can also check out the Steinbach Toy and Tractor show that's also going on in the mall. Happy railroading, everyone!
