The Mission of Vancouver Train Expo is:
“To provide a show for the public and modelers that is interesting and interactive while encouraging and displaying best practices of model railroading.”
Vancouver Train Expo is an annual model railroad public show that is run by the Lower Mainland Train Expo Society and organized by a volunteer committee. The show is traditionally held on the weekend closest to Remembrance Day in November of every year.
This show is in its 38th year, serves as an exhibition of the great hobby of model railroading, bringing together those with experience and those who are just becoming interested. We welcome all -. whether you have a model railroad empire of your own, a train set or are just hoping to see some cool models.
