Model train hobbyists and retailers from around the world will trek to the Ontario Convention Center (http://www.ontariocc.com/) for the expanded 19th Annual Big Train Show (http://www.bigtrainshow.com/) June 6-7.

This year, the show added all the other gauges; Z, N, HO and O, said Bob Brown, Ontario Convention Center General Manager and CEO. Traditionally, the show has been G gauge only.

A crowd of 5,000 model train enthusiasts are expected to flock to the convention center for the two-day event which officially opens with two days of bus tours on June 4-5. The tours will visit various homes to see what others have done with their railroad empire in Southern California. People interested in the tours can preregister at http://www.bigtrainshow.com/2009/Tours/.

During the show, families and spectators will be treated to operating model train displays and how-to clinics for people working on their own set of tracks. The exhibit will feature manufacturers, dealers, trains, rolling stock, accessories, supplies, video'ss, antiques, tools, publications and much more.

The very first Big Train Show was conducted by Brian Curry and is set to return to the Ontario Convention Center in June 2010 and June 2011. This year'ss show will open at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 6 and Sunday, June 7. Tickets are $12 for adults and children 11 and under receive free admission.

The Big Train Show has been a part of the Inland Empire since 2007 and I am proud to know that it will continue to run its tracks through the City of Ontario for many years to come, Brown said.
