Layout Tours
There are many fine layouts in the Hamilton
area and a full program of self guided
layout tours is being provided. Many of the
layouts which will be available for viewing
have graced the pages of various
publications, including the O Scale layouts
of Craig Webb, and Aberfoyle Junction, as
well as the HO Scale layouts of David Lee
and Jim Ellis, and the N scale layouts of
John Johnston and Justin Parry. A car pool
program will be organized for those of you

Train Show
We
have booked the 18,000 square foot Braley
Centre and are putting together what will be
one of the largest display of operating
layouts ever seen in Ontario. This is not
your traditional train show, it is all about
operating trains in every scale. We already
have numerous commitments and space is
filling up fast. This should be an exciting
opportunity to see most scales in action at
the same time and we will be opening to the
public on Sunday to give a Family Friendly
showcase of our hobby. |
