Selkirk Model Railroad Association holds open house on November 15 and 16

Our good friends at the Selkirk Model Railroad Association are holding their fall open house this weekend. They will have no less than four operating layouts on display, ranging from N gauge to O gauge! Their open house is a must-see for any model railroad enthusiast, and if you haven't been there before, this is your golden opportunity! The group holds two open houses every year, so if you miss this one, you'll have to wait until spring!

Hours are from 10 to 4 on Saturday, and from noon to 4 on Sunday. They're easy to find! They're located at 217 Clandeboye Avenue in Selkirk - that's right off main street, one block north of the bridge. Admission is $4.00 or free with a "tin for the bin".

Manitoba's model railroading community mourns the passing of Selkirk Model Railroad Association President Tom Reeve

It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our good friend, President and Chairman of the Board of the Selkirk Model Railroad Association, Tom Reeve, after a brief battle with pneumonia and liver cancer.

Tom was a founding member of the Selkirk Model Railroad Association. Tom's lifelong interests in the hobby and dedication to the hobby was certainly shared by all. His presence at the club house and in all our projects was felt and Tom will be missed by all who knew him.

Tom was interested in all scale (N, HO, O and G scale) and an avid reader of anything that involved trains. Tom was a strong supporter and worker in the latest project of the association, the diorama for the Heritage Museum of Grand Beach. Sadly, he will not be there for the final installation in the middle of July.

Tom's funeral service will be held on Tuesday, July 8 at the Gilbart Funeral Home, 309 Eveline Street, in Selkirk at 11:00AM.

Selkirk Model Railroad Association open house to be held April 12 -13

Our good friends at the Selkirk Model Railroad Association are holding an open house this weekend. They have their own building in Selkirk, and what they have to display has to be seen to be believed! They have four operating layouts - HO, O gauge, and two N gauge!

The club is located at 217-B Clandeboye Avenue in downtown Selkirk. They're open this Saturday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and on Sunday from noon to 4:00 PM. Admission is $4.00 per person. Kids under 12 are free. Ages 13 to 16 $2.00.

Why not take a short drive north to steel town and see all of their magnificent layouts? While you're at it, why not stop at Skinner's or the Half Moon Drive-In for a snack while you're heading home?
