    New Train Lines Planned for Toronto and Ont./Que.

    My experiences in travelling across the province is different, the provincial highways are rough and the county/regional roads to be better maintained. It seems the province waits until a road is well below acceptable standards, and then over-rebuilds spending big bucks, while the regional roads...

    TH&B Loco at Westfield Pioneer Village

    Interesting, I've never even heard of this place before! Looks like it would be a good trip when my kids are a couple years older. :)

    Mtl To Van, any RR Museums?

    There are also other sites along the way that are only 5 minute stops for a quick photo, such as the Alco in Marathon, Ontario, and the SW1200 in Kenore Ontario. The Trans-Canada is right next to rail lines in a lot of places across the country... Not on the Trans-Canada, but there is also the...

    Canada's beauty

    My Grandma lived in Smithers until she died. Interesting that you saw a CP train through Smithers, the line is owned by CN, but I think there are a couple CP grain trains that go to the port at Prince Rupert. I agree, it is a very beautiful area. How far out of Smithers are you planning on going?

    Doubleheaders Tour 2008 pictures

    Sounds pretty ambitious! How much of the Manitoulin Island trackage will be modelled? I'd assume this is going in the top most level? I think it ends at a wye right now around the Mckerrow station?

    Hey Chris, how old is the stairs to the upper level by the entrance door (that puts you in the Mckerrow area on the 2nd level)? I got to thinking, and I don't remember it being there before...

    Doubleheaders Tour 2008 pictures

    Chris, thanks for the inside info. I thought there had already been stairs on the south? side of the layout the first time I saw it 5 or so years ago, but I may be wrong. I seem to recall seeing a lot more second level of the layout before than what was open on the weekend. I didn't see it last...

    Then a quick jaunt to Cambridge for Jeff Pinchbeck's CP Sutherland Sub. Benchwork is all done, ready for scenery and buildings. Well researched layout. I appreciate building mockups to get a feel for the builder's intentions. Jeff's mockups appear to be original scaled blueprints on foamcore...

    Last stop in K-W was the Preston Model Railroad Society, with a sprawling anything-goes HO layout with nose-bleed upper deck, and also a large N layout. Here's some pics of the HO layout. I'm a sucker for CP diesels. :)
