22nd Annual Model Railroad Garage Sale—September 10, 2022

Yes it’s back.  After a couple years of no event due to the pandemic, we are set to run the annual Model Railroad Garage sale once again.

The 22nd annual Model Railroad Garage sale is coming up fast. Mark September 10, 2022 on your calendar as you will not want to miss this wonderful event. It is a terrific way for those just starting in the hobby to find some items, meet others in the hobby, gain ideas, and share in discussions. Many have also found that sought after treasure on someone’s table that was just what they needed to bring some life to their own layout.

This event is hosted FREE of charge for both vendors and customers. It is put on as a modellers-for-modellers day to help spread the word that Model Railroading is a fun and fulfilling hobby for all ages. While this event only lasts 4 hours, many hours are spent on the planning and set up of the event. As long as the interest to attend is strong we will continue to put this event on. It runs from 9am – 1pm with vendors allowed to start setting up as early as 7:00 am.

Many have already signed up to be vendors, and spaces are filling up quickly. We will be taking reservations for vendors until August 31, 2022 so if you are wishing to attend this year as a vendor please let us know ASAP.

Also this year, we will again be having the community table. For those that are not familiar with how the table works, it is a way for people to bring just a few things and leave them for sale at the event. If you wish to bring items for the community table we ask that they be brought in to the store already priced no later than Sept 4th to have them tagged and set up for the sale. If you wish more info on putting items on the table please feel free to contact me.

Get out your pen and circle September 10, 2022 on your calendars and come on out to share in the fun and excitement of the 22nd Annual Model Railroad Garage Sale.

Please note, the donations received from each year’s event are put back into improving the next year’s event. If you have ideas that you would like to see put into place for upcoming events please share them with us—we want to continue improving this event to ensure it remains something you don’t want to miss.

Inquiries can be made to Carol by calling 519-807-2345 or email carol@countylinecaboose.ca

The Tail End Express Is Back

Well, after a couple of years break, the Tail End Express is back to being published.  We hope to go back to releasing it every couple of months to keep you updated on the things that are happening.

So, welcome to the Tail Express newsletter 2022!

We finally have Debit!

After years of the struggle with technology out here and our metal buildings not allowing signals to go through, we have found a system that will allow us to take debit and credit cards.

We are now able to accept both debit and credit cards as forms of payment.

Monthly bundle purchase

Starting in September we will be having a monthly purchase bundle, these will run the full month and then a new offer will come along.

We tested this in the early months of the year and many people loved the deals that were presented and we have been asked to continue.

Watch our website, Facebook, and twitter for the monthly bundle deal.
