The 16th Annual Hamilton & District Layout Tour - This Saturday!


The Hamilton-centred HO Model Engineers Society (HOMES)  is holding their annual layout tour as follows:

Saturday, November 5, 2016, from 9am to 5pm.

They will have 24 home and club layouts in N, HO, and O scales, standard and narrow gauge, from Burlington to Beamsville, plus Hamilton itself. Six of these layouts have never been in the tour before, and three others haven’t been on for a while.

One of the layouts on the tour should not be missed.  It is Lex Parker's Denver & Rio Grande Western layout.   It is incredibly well done.  Above and below are a few images of the layout which don't do it justice.

A special addition will be the Burlington Junction Station (Freeman Station), which is undergoing renovations and building a G-scale historical diorama as part of its display.

Admission to the tour is $5 per person, and the Guide Book is your ticket.

Purchase your Guide Book at these locaitons:
  • Dundas Valley Hobby, Modellers' Choice in Hamilton,
  • Just Train Crazy in Beamsville,
  • Credit Valley Railway Co in Mississauga,
  • Paris Junction Hobby, and Broughdale Hobby in London
Get your book in advance and plan your day!

On the day of the tour, guide books will also be available from 9am at the HOMES location, in the Eva Rothwell Centre at 460 Wentworth Street North.
