Enjoy the Manitoba Mega Train Show this weekend on September 28 and 29

We had a great time this September with the AVR open house and dinner train, Railway Days and CN 100 at The Forks. What better way to wrap up a month of model railroading fun than a visit to the Manitoba Mega Train Show this weekend?

It's the biggest train show between Toronto and Calgary, with nearly 40,000 square feet of displays, 60 vendors, operating layouts and trains, trains trains! It's at Red River Exhibition Place, 3977 Portage Avenue (right beside Assiniboia Downs). A ticket costs $8.00. Youth 4-12 $6.00. A family pack is 25 bucks and kids 3 and under get in for free! Admission includes unlimited free rides on the Mega-Train. Don't miss it!

Model railroad features fantastic recreation of downtown Toronto

    Most modellers wouldn't even dream of recreating a big city like Toronto on their layout, but it has been done! Our good friend Chuck Huard, a long time member of the WMRC and a past president, sent us this link that was originally shown on CTV News. This HO scale railroad has scale models of the CN tower, the Skydome, and everything else in between! It has to be seen to be believed! Check it out by clicking here.
