This year's show, June 6 and 7, 2026, features more than 40 model railroads on display, including Tomas the Tank Engine and Harry Potter, with all the bells and whistles to entertain and showcase the artistry and availability of the world of model railways. There will also be boats, plastic models, and many more demonstrations of what can be made by hand.
Trains can be bought and sold at the show, which provides ideas and stimulates the creative mind. There will also be books, new and used, and videos for sale, along with collectibles and scenic materials to make mountains, trees, and water, and lots of free advice on how to create and enjoy your very own world in miniature. This show makes for happy children and grandparents with railways for children from 9 months to 99 years old.
At the Montreal Model Train Exposition, we support the needs of Montreal Sun Youth, the largest independent charity in Montreal, renowned for its integrity and ability to help those in need. Sun Youth also enriches those who become involved with it. Not only is this show fun, but it also benefits society in general and those most in need as a fundraiser for Sun Youth.
This show provides a flashback to the past, bringing back old joys and experiences no longer common among today's video game generation, opening the eyes and minds of our youth to new possibilities and creative joys.
The best time to visit the show is Sunday at 10:00 am.
