Open House Events

If you intend to come for the annual De Winton Community Association's July 1 Canada Day breakfast, Calgary Stampede or Spruce Meadows Equestrian event please call ahead to secure a time to see the De Winton Station Garden Railway.

I do plan to retain the exclusivity of my offerings by not opening DSGR or Ol’ Smoky to the general public except for specified open house dates, once or twice a year, such as our Garden Railway Annual Exhibit event. All of our group bookings will be by advanced notification and confirmation prior to attendance.

Message from Chief Engineer of Operations

De Winton Station
has now quickly evolved from a personal desire to develop a home based retirement hobby project - into a major undertaking, that now has the potential to become a first class attraction. I have always been fascinated with the railroad, its history, romance and relationship to the growth of this nation. To now pass on this interest onto the next generation of rail fans will fulfill a desire to leave behind a worthwhile project or legacy that will carry on...

DSGR's primary concentration is to create a lasting exhibit for those who have had a similar connection with the steam era of railroading. De Winton Station will be the vehicle in which to support this dream. To provide the focus and support system required to encourage the development of a day visit location for the underprivileged and disabled children as well as for senior groups.

“Our product is excitement”

Excitement generated through the combination of the visual realistic scenery that surrounds you from all sides, friendships created with fellow train enthusiasts and the sense of freedom derived while you envision yourself traveling the winding mountain railways. The model toy trains of my youth inspired me to expand my learned abilities as a carpenter to create an imaginary world - far apart from the hectic pace of the modern city living. My modest two-acre parcel at the southern outskirts of Calgary is the perfect location to conduct this venture.

Thanks for visiting!
