Hello everyone:
On behalf of the Ontario & Eastern Railway Modellers, I'm pleased to
announce that the Copetown Train Show is being assembled on the ready track,
and will be arriving for all to enjoy on the weekend of February 26, 27,
2000.
We will again be coordinating this show to be on the same theme as last
year; that of a joint Canadian Railway SIG meet.
Saturday will be a closed door day for the participants of the show to
enjoy, as in past years, with a special treat in the early evening.
There will be displays and promotional tables for the TH&B, CNR, and CPR SIG
groups. Everyone is encouraged to bring models or collectibles to place on
these display tables for all to enjoy.
There will be three high quality operating layouts in attendance, all with
Canadian prototype theme, and it looks like some new promotional display
modules from two more clubs.
There will be clinics running all day, hosted by, and on the theme of the
attending SIG groups' railways.
The Canadian Prototype Manufacturers display is going to be repeated, with
many exciting new products, and pilot models for us to see.Come and meet the
people behind these products in a casual relaxed atmosphere. Sorry, no sales
on site from the manufacurers.
We will have carefully hand picked craftsmen in attendance, demonstrating
and displaying their talents. I'll be doing some shamefully bold name
dropping from time to time as commitments are firmed up.
The beautiful Copetown Lions Community Centre in Copetown, Ontario is the
place where all this will be taking place, and this year there will be
plenty of free parking for all.
For all the modern day railfans, the main line of the CN Dundas Sub is right
across the street where you will see heavy westbound traffic struggling up
the escarpment grade.
Bottom line is, if you are a modeller, or fan of Canadian railways both past
and present, this will be truly another event not to be missed.
Accomodations nearby can be arranged. For this or any other questions,
contact me through this list, or my home phone # is (905) 679-4279.
Thanks
Rich Chrysler
