About the Club

 
 

Originally located in Harry Ebert’s basement, the Model Railroad Club of Toronto (MRCT) soon moved to new premises at Toronto’s Union Station. After World War II, the railways required the Union Station space the Club occupied, so a hunt for a new home was on. In January 1946, the Club moved to its present location in the basement of 171 East Liberty Street (formerly 37 Hanna Avenue), a former munitions factory. Over the years, a great many have belonged to the Club and enjoyed the themselves through fellowship with others that share their passion for the hobby. For many, membership at the Model Railroad Club of Toronto has been a lifelong commitment.

Our historical pages provide a look at our past and current neighbouring environment.
