The Vancouver Train Expo is Metro Vancouver’s Biggest Train Show Ever! Our annual show celebrates its 34th year, serving as an exhibition of the great hobby of model railroading, bringing together those with experience
Date/Time: Nov 12 2017, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm
Vancouver, PNE/Playland | Event calendarCost: $10.00
This show brings together those with experience and those who are just becoming interested – we welcome ALL – whether you have a model railroad empire of your own, a train set or are just hoping to see some cool models.
Fares may be paid with cash only. An entrance fare entitles an individual to the public display areas of the show. An entrance fare is good only for the day it is purchased.
This year over 60 exhibitors will be on hand with meticulous recreations of trains running through majestic mountain trails and oceanscapes, cities and landscapes, past and present.
Kids and families will love the hands on experiences of running their own railway empire, likely something they haven’t experienced before. Of course, what would a train expo be without minirail train rides for the kids, LEGO displays and a children’s activity area where you can play with trains.
Traditionalists will love the fully operational collectible and heritage set ups while those with a penchant for tech will be thrilled to see the modernization of the hobby as tablets and computers control dozens of trains on multiple tracks. Of course, it’s the humans that keep them from running off the rails! And finally those looking for bargains or hoping to purchase rare or out of production models might just find what they are looking for in the vendor’s Market Place.
Come and see the many facets the hobby of model railroading offers. It’s three-dimensional art in motion, it’s robotics and it’s a great way for the family to spend a November day!
