Grey Central Railway Club Model Train Show—This Saturday September 16, 2017

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 16, 2017 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.

We will be having a customer appreciation/Open House weekend on October 14, 2017 and October 15, 2017.

October 14, 2017:  10am to 6pm

Come out and enjoy the following:

  • a new batch of estate and consignment items – this will be laid out in one of the bays of the garage next door due to the space it takes up
  • in store specials (will be posting a few to Facebook the week before the event)

    Project Showcase coming soon

    In the coming months I would like to feature on Facebook a project that you have done that you are proud of and that you would think would inspire other modellers to do the same thing or use the same technique.

    Please send me your projects and we will start posting them in the early fall.  It does not matter if you are a beginner or an expert the idea is to share what you are working on or have worked on in order to spark some ideas in others. 

    Photos and a brief description can be emailed to me at carol@countylinecaboose.ca

    I look forward to seeing what we have all been working on.
