Great pix. :) Connaught Avenue is only spot in Toronto with single track operation on a narrow street.

Here's a map of the Oshawa Railway circa 1962. :thumb:

Thanks Paul. I did notice....once I printed the file. It's what happens when you work late at night!

Yes I'll be at TTS tomorrow, Feb 12. :thumb:

Finally this is how the original track looks now, also from Septemeber 18, 2005:

Another one taken on the new 505 Dundas loading island. Access to the island is by walking in front of a 504 car. This is 4071 during a TTS charter September 18, 2005:

That was in the days of one track only at Dundas West Station. See below for a look at Dundas West with the two track loop during the 2003 ERA Convention.

Problem with NWSL is that their catalog appears only in individual PDF pages. :curse: Which makes it harder to give you the full picture. Here's another page I saw the other day: http://www.nwsl.com/Catalog/pg112-cat8-08-v0603.pdf And here's the link for the whole PDF catalog. Lots of...

The MacGregor prices are for the O scale kits. It appears HO prices aren't posted.

I haven't found the colour scheme, but I found this web site: http://bcer.trams.bc.ca/main.html Central Hobbies in Vancouver offers HO scale British Columbia Electric Railway resin car body kits. Why don't you try asking them? http://www.central-hobbies.com/products/resin.html NWSL page...

I came across an interesing web site tonight with lots of small traction layouts on it. Not all are HO, many feature some very tight radius loops. Small Layout Scrapbook 54a: http://carendt.com/scrapbook/page54a/index.html Small Layout Scrapbook 58...

There is new kit on the market for an Osgood Bradley DT DE city car that lists Oshawa Railway as one of the prototypes (and Montreal & Southern Counties). http://www.pknd.com/osgood-bradley.html http://www.pknd.com/ The KND web site notes: "Transit Cars are Laser-cut Wood or Epoxy Resin and...

Oops! Guess I'm just too efficient. Carlton cars short turning at Roncesvalles generally were going to Roncesvalles carhouse. Switches do not allow cars to turn around at Roncesvalles and Howard Park. I assume this to be a pull-in rather than a scheduling short turn. In those days this was a...

Even the streetcars have alot of detail unique to Toronto. The short turn sign, the advance light on the front roof, the grab bar outside the centre doors and the red light behind the centre door that came on with the doors open.

From John F. Due's The Intercity Electric Railway Industry in Canada, University of Toronto Press, 1966: This was the smallest of Ontario interurbans. Intended as a link between interurban lines from Toronto and Hamilton to London, it never became more than a strictly local operation...

:wave: Here's another one. The last air-car 4199 on June 22, 1971 at Gerrard and Woodbine. This car dated back to 1940. It was gone soon after this.
