Belleville – Choo! Choo!
That’s the sound that train lovers have been keenly straining their ears to hear for majority of the year. This weekend, railroad enthusiasts will not have to wait any longer.
The event, which draws a couple of thousand train enthusiasts, young and old, like moths to a flame, is held once again at Quinte Secondary School on College Street West on December 3 and 4.
The doors open at 10 a.m. and the shows runs until 4 p.m. both days.
Right on schedule in time for Christmas the 21st annual show will offer wares for the budding model railroader and veteran alike.
Examples of model train boxcar graffiti are shown here, the work done by Tim Jansen, from the Port Hope club, is an effort to add just another aspect of realism to the displays. File Photo/Quinte News: Michael J Brethour
The event is hosted by the Belleville and Brighton Model Railroad Clubs.
Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors/students, $2 for children and a family rate of $10.
