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 operatio

n 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 an 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!
