PFT-TSP modeling fair in Saint-Ghislain

The Saint-Ghislain Model Railway Fair is a must-attend event for model train enthusiasts in Belgium. Organized by the model railway section of the “Patrimoine Ferroviaire et Tourisme” (PFT) association, this fair takes place three times a year in the former wagon maintenance workshops of the Saint-Ghislain railway station.

The event gathers around fifty exhibitors, including both professionals and private collectors, offering a wide range of model trains, books, magazines, and railway-related items. Visitors can also admire rolling stock exhibitions outside, access the model railway section on the upper floor, and enjoy a refreshment area with light snacks.

Located approximately 300 meters from Saint-Ghislain station, the Rétrotrain site is accessible via a ramp between the two viaduct bridges. As on-site parking is reserved for exhibitors and people with reduced mobility, visitors are advised to park at the station’s parking lot.
