It’s a fantastic opportunity for families to bond over a shared interest, sparking conversations about childhood memories and inspiring new passions. The intricate displays are not just visual delights; they showcase the craftsmanship and dedication of train enthusiasts, making it a visual feast for all. Moreover, interacting with vendors allows attendees to discover unique merchandise, from rare models to accessories that enhance personal collections.

For children, a vibrant Kids Zone is a treasure trove of activities that ignite the imagination, with crafts, puzzles, a scavenger hunt, and storytimes all designed to enrich their experience. The event also strengthens community ties by bringing together diverse groups united by a love for trains while supporting a good cause, such as preserving the Historic Essex Railway Station. Each moment spent at the show is an opportunity to create lasting memories and foster a sense of belonging within the community.

Now in its 30th year, this event is a valuable fundraiser for the Historic Essex Railway Station. It showcases the power of community collaboration with support from sponsors like Essex Centre BIA, Heritage Essex Inc., BDO, and HUB International Insurance.

We hope to see you at the show!
