Hear hear!!! Thanks for the reminder of a wonderful modeller and man. Val

Me too Wayne - but there's always next time. :) Val

Thanks guys - glad you enjoyed it. Chad - are you referring to the big red diesel by any chance? Val

Hi folks! Long time no see. I wanted to share some photos with you of my afternoon at the Elgin County Museum's Railway Heritage Day, so c'mon along! It's a beautiful summer day, and as we cross the parking lot, we see a promising belch of coal black smoke. Let's get a little closer to...

A lot of universities are a mix of old and new buildings. The one mentioned by Stu McGee is indeed by Heljan - called a Synagogue but could easily double for any school-type building from the early 1900s. Last time I checked it was on sale at Walthers for a great price.

Awesome!! That is one sweet engine!!! I was lucky enough to see it here in Toronto about 3 years ago, and ride a special excursion they laid on to Milton. I'm so glad they're still running it. Val

Thank-you everyone. I've had a wonderful time as a moderator here. I have made some great friends, and I like to think I've helped Mikey to steer this boat through some troubled waters awhile back. I'm not quitting the Gauge, I am merely stepping down as moderator. I will still be here from...

Dear Michael, I am so so sorry to hear of your loss. You and your wife have my deepest sympathy. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Val

Wow - thanks for the great photo's. Nothing like a train against the prairie sky! :thumb: Val

Okay, I'll take a stab at it (better late than never, hmm?) 1. Queen St. W. just west of Old City Hall, looking east. A CLRV. :) 2. I don't recognize this area at all so I'm going to guess east end, maybe Kingston Rd? PCC 3. Queen St. E. looking east, near Coxwell PCC 4. Looks like Gerrard...

Wow!! Thanks for the links! Traction in N-scale!!! TOO COOL!! Val

From the CN Lines Sig: "On April 5 radio station CJOB reported that "CN Rail is changing the way it builds and assemble trains that pass through Winnipeg at Symington Yards." Company spokesman Jim Feeny explained that no-one will be laid off, although some jobs will be shifted. On the...

Hi Robert - the Atlas saw should work - it just takes patience. The trouble with plastic is that you can't really use power tools unless they are variable speed - if they go too fast then they melt the plastic. :curse: I know some people have used the cutting disc on a dremel tool at a very...

Wow - nice work!! It obviously took a lot of hours - too bad we can't build stuff as quickly as it goes in your video, eh? sign1 Val

Great photo's guys! It's like paging through Model Railroader magazine - for FREE!! :thumb: Val

Okay - time for another small update. I'm doing terrain and it seems to be very time-consuming. These shots show two bridges in progress and one underpass. The underpass will have a plate girder bridge over it, and the pink foam bridge will be a scratchbuild, mainly because I can't find...

Oops :oops: Central Valley - that's what I meant, hehe. Thanks Wayne. Val
