Saint-Constant, Thursday, August 9, 2018 – On August 18 and 19, 2018, exhibitors from Quebec and Ontario will present their model trains in the Angus Pavilion at Exporail, the Canadian Railway Museum. This year, three new exhibitors will join the event, for the pleasure of children, their parents and their grandparents! 

Visitors will have the opportunity to view a Lego® reproduction of the famous CPR 2850 "Royal Hudson" locomotive, as well as the real one at the museum! Also on display is a logging railroad and a locomotive in action at the iron mine site at Blairton, Ontario. 

Several components of this exhibition are interactive and a large area is also provided for children to take part in a Lego® workshop. 

This weekend visitors will be able to appreciate scale models exhibited alongside Exporail's life-size vehicles. Visitors can make this experience even more fun by participating in the regular Museum activities.
