The cars were lined up outside 1141 Maple Street in Fenwick on Sunday afternoon, as the Greater Niagara Model Railroad Engineers opened their doors for a public showing. Plenty of kids were on hand, with parents and grandparents, to view the elaborate train setup of the Fenwick Central Railway (FC) at the club, a fictitious railroad replete with a network of tracks, tunnels, trestles, bridges, miniature towns, and natural scenery.
The railroad features 300 miles of track built to an HO scale of 1:87. Another open house will take place on Sunday, April 30, 12 noon until 4:30 PM. Fourteen year olds are eligible to become junior members. Club meetings are Wednesdays from 7 PM to 9:30 PM, and the public is always welcome to drop in. For more information, go to www.gnmre.ca
