As a reminder we are officially less than two weeks away from our Strawberry Fest Model Railroad Show being held at the Waupaca Rec Center. Hopefully the weather isn’t as warm as it was last year.

Show hours are 9AM-3PM Saturday, June 20. We hope to see you all in Waupaca on June 20.

As we get closer to June 20th and the all important Strawberry Fest Model Railroad Swap Meet , you'll see quite a few banners hung up in the Waupaca area reminding you of the event. Be sure to 👀 for them but remember to keep your 👀 on the road in front of you also 😁

You will see our banners in front of the Learning Center, on the east side of town by the school bus depot, in front of the recycling center, at the corner of Fulton St. and Hwy 10 West on-ramp and southbound lanes of Hwy 49 coming into town.

We are now officially three weeks away! That’s right! Three weeks away from our one day Strawberry Fest Model Railroad Show in Waupaca. Show will run from 9AM-3PM Saturday June 20 at the Waupaca Recreation Center. We will have three operating layouts in this year plus a handful of good vendors selling. WAMR will also be having their own sales tables.

If you are a vendor and would like to sell at our show, act now! Table space is filling up quick. We have applications on our website at wamrltd.com or you may message us on here and we’ll send it your way.

As a reminder, the historic Waupaca Depot will be open that weekend as well, so stop on by and support the Waupaca depot when you come to the show.

We are all set and ready for the 2026 Titletown Train Show located at the KI Convention Center in Green Bay. Show is open from 9-4 today and 10-3 tomorrow. See you all soon!

Our award winning portable layout will be attending the Titletown Train Show on Mothers Day weekend (May 9-10). The show is happening a week earlier than originally scheduled due to lack of available hotels thanks to the Luke Combs concerts and WAMO State Dart Tournament going on the same exact weekend (TTS was originally scheduled for May 16-17). Flyer is attached in this post.

Note the show only runs from 9-4 Saturday and 10-3 Sunday this year. This is a well attended show and we hope to see you all in Green Bay in less than three weeks.

We are starting to get a few more applications in recently, so if you are considering getting tables for our show, now is the time to fill out an application and send it in along with payment.

Today is the 34th annual Paper Valley Swap Meet located at the Randercom warehouse in Appleton. Matt, Roger and Virgie will be there with three tables worth of model trains to sell. If you are in the area today, come on down to the swap meet and say hello to the WAMR folks.

If anyone that is at today’s swap meet is interested in selling at our Strawberry Fest train show on June 20 (three months away), we will have applications here at the tables and our flyers will be out at the swap meet. Table reservations are starting to fill up, so don’t hesitate to reserve your tables at our show.

This weekend is the La Crosse & Three Rivers Model Railroad Show at the Omni Center in Onalaska.

With the winter storm that is coming, the show is still running as scheduled, however WAMR has decided not to bring the layout to the show due to the conditions we’re expecting for Sunday. We wish everyone safe travels to those that are venturing out to La Crosse this weekend and we hope the show is still at least successful tomorrow.

From all of us at WAMR, we would like to congratulate long time EHS employee Don on his retirement.

It's cake day for Don!
