Now as a fellow Canuck who lives just West down the CN line - I am disappointed I was tied up that day and couldn't join you. The photos and narrative semi made up for it. Hopefully next time I'll be able to meet you and join in the fun.

On the CN corridor (Windsor to Toronto) you can guarantee seeing the old style silver SF units and 'pumpkin schemes as lease units on a daily basis. Looking out my backdoor

Lots o' fun here today - keep it coming

I see your government works the same as mine - As an aside - I'm going on the TV show on the automobile channel ' PIMP MY RIDE' as soon as I go to the gas station and fill the tank.

Okay....were a pretty smart bunch of people here aren't we ? Can anyone else see the unbelievable cost of pre-made loads for these cars especially in N Scale ? I'm assuming the store bought loads are just a printed paper wrapping a very light wood product. I'm sure someone out there more...

Just in case I have to escape the family and do a little solo wandering while on vacation - are there any RR points of interest in or close to Bracebridge; (And please don't mention the Santa's Village train ) - heading up the first week of August.

Now that's ingenuity for ya. When in doubt.... improvise :thumb:

Welcome Back Ed. Looking forward to perhaps meeting you in person someday seeing that I work in London - ana I still haven't had an oportunity to seek out any railroad hotspots and clubs in the area yet.

A great tribute to someone so revered by members of the Gauge. I never knew him - but felt I did through all your thoughts and posts. I can see he was admired by all.Keep his memory alive.

Nice to see that you have chosen a good Canadian road to model (although I'm a bit prejudiced towards CN).

Why not a sky blue - less hassle down the road - no need to paint a backdrop 'cause the entire room will be one at any angle.

Flitz (which is a cream-like substance is real good) - or an electronic cleaning spray on a rag works good. Using a track cleaning "eraser" over time or heaven forbid - sandpaper, causes scratches to the railhead which eventually gathers dirt. Running your trains more often is a good way to...

:cool: I like it too but I'm also biased towards the 'noodle':wave:

I'm sure we'll all look forward to the new contruction. Good luck with the tear down.

Is it really possible to leave without leaving ?:confused:

I have just acquired a pair of these locomotives brand new (very - very good deal). I took them to my train club last night and was told by a couple of members that they have had non stop problems with them. ie; intermittant running, not running, etc. Is there or was there a problem with these ...

I work for the Ontario Government - as a Supervisor in a large Detention Centre (jail).

Thanks for the reminder - my little guy will love it !
