The annual Greater Edmonton Model Train Show drew enthusiasts from across Alberta to the Expo Centre this weekend, featuring elaborate displays and family-friendly activities. The event showcases layouts with scenery from western Canada, and chairman John Koob noted the venue change was needed due to growing size. He described the hobby as sculpture and art, with participants often dedicated for 40 to 50 years. Attendee Brian Mapplebeck called this year's event "absolutely spectacular," highlighting a Thomas the Tank Engine display. The show continues Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with admission at $15 for adults and $5 for children aged 6-16.
