Kinmount Model Railway & Museum
Add to itinerary
The Kinmount Model Railway and Museum is located in the agent’s office and baggage
room of the preserved Kinmount railway station at Kinmount, Ontario. (The waiting room
is a tourist information office). Kinmount was the third major stop on the former Lindsay-
Haliburton CNR line, north of Fenelon Falls and Burnt River; 33 miles (53 km) from
Lindsay, and 22 miles (35 km) from Haliburton.
This model railway group congregates from the surrounding area including from
Lindsay, Fenelon Falls, Burnt River, Bobcaygeon, Irondale and Wilberforce. Some of
the volunteers are also members of the Lindsay & District Model Railroaders, a club that
has some of the same aims as the Kinmount group.
The Kinmount group operates informally, but is uniformly focused on the maintenance,
operation and improvement of the layout on display. The volunteers contribute their
various skills to keep the exhibit going. Automation of the layout’s operation has enabled
the guides on duty to spend more time with their public. Renewal of the track and scenery
is an ongoing project. The group’s informal meetings are also an opportunity for a social
get-together among shared interests.
As the layout is a historical display, a constant effort is made to represent the modelled
era as faithfully as possible. New volunteers are always welcome; there is no fee to
belong!
