Grey Central Railway Club 10th Anniversary Model Train & Classic Car Show – This Saturday

With the onset of fall comes the train shows and this weekend there is one close to all of our customers that are in the Grey/Bruce Area. The Grey Central Railway Club will be hosting their Annual Open House and Train Show this Saturday, September 17, 2016 from 10am to 4pm. It is located at the Participation Lodge five minutes east of Holland Centre.

For those that do not want to drive down to the cities where the majority of the shows are happening this is a great way to take in a train show close to home.

This event will feature the Grey Central Railway Layout operating, a few additional layouts are usually brought in for the event, and a selection of vendors selling railway items and supplies.

So come on out and support a local train show.

In addition this year there is a Classic Car show, so take the day and come on out for some great family fun.

Fall is Here Again

Hard to believe how fast summer went this year.  As a reminder that as the ice cream side of things start to wind down, our train store hours will shorten as well.  Updated hours are always found on our website.  Emails are checked daily and orders can be placed even when the store is closed via email to me or through our website.

Have you been watching Facebook?

It is now a year since we started our Facebook page.  We try our best to announce new and coming items as we get notice of them, and Facebook is a great way to have it happen faster than the newsletter.  Also as new items arrive we post them to advise of their arrivals.

We also put up one-off items and clearance items as we find them.  Sometimes it can even be a weekend sale on something. 

Not on Facebook, not a problem, just go to our site and you can see the Facebook feed as well. 

Have a suggestion of other things that you would like to see in the posts, let us know and we will see if it can be done.
