Yep...I'm already thinking about where to put the train room. Figure I can do at least 10'x8' somewhere in the basement. Of course, it may have to wait until I dig out the basement a bit - only have 6' ceilings in there right now. Still waiting for the signback - hope they accept our offer!

My wife and I have put in an offer on a little bungalow in the Birchcliff area...feels good to be finally moving into a house. The bad news...the trains have to be packed up, and my little shelf layout pulled apart. Good thing I didn't get too far along with it. New spending will also have...

Thanks - I had a quick look on ebay, but no joy. I'll have to do some more digging when I have the time.

Thanks, I'll go have a look. The other option might be bachmann's PCC...

Hi all, Has anybody seen any N gauge models out there, or have an idea of how I can make an operating bogie/truck that does not have sideframes? (Every N gauge truck I've come across relies on the sideframes to hold the wheel and axle in place). I'm trying to model some subway cars in N...

Awesome shots Chris! There is a Father's Day special being run from Toronto Union Station this Saturday...unfortunately I won't be on it, as I've promised my Dad that I would help him up at the cottage.

I've got family just north of Manchester, in Chorley (Lancashire). I always enjoy a day-trip into Manchester to look around, and take a ride on the tram!

One for Chris... Bring back some memories for ya? Manchester Piccadilly, May 2003.

I've recently seen a notice that the Maple Leaf 2003 Train show is on...is this the same one that got cancelled, Chris?

Hoping you are still able to pop in and post once in awhile! Take care of yourself, Paul

Lookin' real good there Matthryo

Well, make sure you get lots of pics - I won't be able to make the tour. I'll actually be a couple of thousand miles away that day - in the UK :D

I think the propsoed people-mover at Pearson is just internal for the moment (linking the new terminal with T3 and the HUGE employee/long stay parking lot). Eventually it will connect with some form of rapid transit (TTC/GO/whoever) linking the airport to downtown Toronto. My guess was just...

Hmmm...maybe part of a people-mover for the airport? I think they're putting one in, but I'm not totally sure... I'm trying to think where it would be coming from actually - I know UTDC (now part of Bombardier) had a plant in Kingston, but I'm not sure if they still make anything there.

I'm still interested, but a 3pm weekday start might not work for me, unless I can get the afternoon off. I'm actually off to the UK for the first two weeks of May, so hopefully that doesn't conflict with the tour. If so, oh well - just take lots of pictures for me!

Great timing - yesterday my parents moved house from Lindsay to Oshawa. D'Oh! :rolleyes:

Kitbashed Kato bridge on my layout. I'm stuck on the road bridge in the foreground...my abutments don't quite line up.

Bridge over the little Sturgeon River, east of Sturgeon Falls Ontario. Ottawa Valley Railway (former CPR Cartier Sub)

I'll probably be there on Sunday...family committments on Saturday.
