Our first series came in the spring of 2013 at the Connaught branch in the Cathedral Neighbourhood.  For each of our three workshops, we provided two time slots to accomodate different age groups and abilities.  During the workshops, we looked at various building techniques, Tech...

It is with great disappointment that we've had to pull out of this years Thunder Creek Model Train Show in Moose Jaw.  It is being held this weekend at the Western Development Museum and since we've been attending, has become one of our favourite shows.
