This coming weekend is the final Saturday and Sunday to view one of North America’s most famous model railways. We are open 10-3 on Saturday and 12-3 on Sunday.

At this time, we do not have a new home for our model railway. When we do, we will make an announcement.

We would like to thank all of our supporters who have shared our joy in this hobby by visiting our model railway over the years. We couldn't have done it without you!!

Only two more weekends until the SJ&A Model Railway closes permanently in St. Jacobs. We have to move to another location because the owners are not renewing our lease.

We will announce the new location at a much later date.

Stop in for last look at this remarkable layout. Saturday 10-3 and Sunday 12-3.
