If it wasnt so darn cold (-30 C), Id just pop on down to the yard and take pics. I also had a book called "railways of Calgary". If I remember correctly, it had a few nice shots of the factility. I believe I lent it to Mike H....cant remember if he gave it back tho... Here is a link....I...

The Selkirk at Heritage Park is on the corner of 14th Street and Heritage Drive, quite outside the Park and is easily photographable. Next week eh? I hope you know we are going into a uber-deep freeze in the next few days to a week. Cheers David

Well...I fried a decoder by trying to put it in the Cab. I might still work on it...I need a more planning though.... David

All goes fine. I think im going to put the project on the back burner until I can find a better chassis. If I can find a MicroAce E-10, Id be in heaven. David

That look amazing! David

See if Kato will sell you their CP shells. You might have to paint them if they wont sell them to ya. David

Hi...welcome

Here is a little primer. Note that this primer is inteneded to show me where I need to focus on.

Here is the completed pilot.......Still a little shiny from all the solder. the coupler fits right in and is at the correct height. David

Yup...after looking at my pro photos, Ive decided to go simple with my trailing truck (interms of mech). The cab is a M by E and it was modified by filing down the angle I need for the cab. David

Here is an update. Today I installed the main smokestack and fabricated the begining of the trailing truck. A few words about the trailing truck. Both wheels will be the same size. The 'beam' comming out the back will be shortned (of course), and will also mount various plugs for...

I looks as though it wants to fly........in a moment :) Cab added. Note that the Selkirks had a distintive feature to their cabs, they slanted in a the bottom of the window. It subtle, but its there. It is now fitted to the chassis! And with the 'concept for the trailing...

More progress...........the bandings on the boiler are finished....as well as most of the walkways.
