Events Calendar
Here is a list of events in southern Ontario of interest to model railroaders.
This calendar is provided without any guarantee of accuracy.
Information is based on flyers obtained at local shows, as well as updates from
show organizers.
Events marked in red are already in the past.
But since most events are annual, you can look forward to next years event.
If you want to take a small child, be sure to bring along a step so your
little one can see the trains on the layouts. Some clubs put their layouts
at eye level for kids, and some clubs have their own steps for kids, but
most do not.
If you have any southern Ontario shows to add to the list,
please e-mail me.
