Grey Central Railway Open House and Train Show this Weekend

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, 201 from 10am to 4pm.  It is located in the basement of 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 that 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.
