2025 Fall Open House

All Aboard for the WRMRC 2025 Fall Open House!

Join us on Saturday, October 18th, and step into a miniature world of wonder and craftsmanship as we showcase our CP Sudbury Division layout to the public.

Our open house offers a unique blend of nostalgia, artistry, and technical wonder — perfect for all ages. This is your chance to see the magic behind the scenes, learn some new techniques, or maybe spark a new passion.

Overall view of Romford with “The Canadian” meeting the North Bay Turn. Freight from Toronto seen behind rock cut on Parry Sound Sub.

Whether you’re a seasoned modeller, a novice looking to find inspiration, or just hoping to enjoy a captivating day out with the family, our open house promises an enjoyable journey through the miniature world of prototype railway modelling.

For people attending the Real Rails convention in Burlington, we’ll also open the layout on the Sunday afternoon *for convention attendees.* So you don’t want to miss that if you came in from out of town for the convention.

Hope to see you there!
