It’s that time of year again!
On Saturday, 29 March 2025, our CP Sudbury Division will be open to the public in participation with the annual Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge-Guelph and area layout tour, organized by the Doubleheaders Model Railway Club. This is a self-guided tour of a large number of club and private home layouts in the area.
If you are new to the Doubleheaders tour there are approximately 25 different layouts you can visit, varying from large club setups to small N-scale pikes, and you can see everything from tinplate trains to scratch-built prototype models. However the layouts are spread over a large area, which makes it difficult to see them all in a day. So you should prepare for a full day of layout touring, and also maybe consider making this an annual, or at least semi-annual event to frequent over the years.
For more details and ticket information please visit the Doubleheaders Model Railway Club web site.
Please note: Though some layouts on the tour are open later, the WRMRC will only be open from 9 am to 5 pm.
Hope to see you then!
I visited your tour 29mar2025. I got to 9 locations before heading back to toronto.
No two sites were the same and this made it even more interesting. One site said <1% scenery but had the most tracks and trains some moving with 80 cars on them. You did not know what you were going to get at each place. #70 the layout was in the family room and not buried in the bowels of the house. It was a great experiance. $5 is minimal and you could charge more. Likey see you next year. Interested in your tutorial course but it is too far for 10 visits. Any chance you have online courses or videos?
Hi Kevin, note that while our club participates in the tour, the tour itself, and the model railroad basics course you’re talking about are organized by the Double Headers Club, not WRMRC. Our club is just one of the layouts open for the tour. Their site is https://www.doubleheaders.ca/index.html
Glad you enjoyed the tour though.
