Following that was Dieter Engelmann's Norfolk Southern Southern Tier layout. Original layout is in one room, with staging expanded into a big loop around the basement. My girls loved watching the train come through the stairs. I was disappointed to see no further progress on this layout either.

After lunch we visited Jim Nuhn's layout based on Goderich Ontario. I enjoyed this one, gave me some thought about the practicality of a double deck layout, with both decks being quite accessible. Also of interest was using the top of the helix (24" radius) as part of the layout so it doesn't...

More pics from St Jacobs...

Next layout visited was Milo Shantz, in the St Jacobs Country Mill. This layout is excellently completed, with authentic scenes from the 50s in the St Jacobs area. Note the covered bridge, it is a "flat" along the back edge, tapered from one end to other to create the illusion of perspective.

Here's my pictures from the 2008 Doubleheaders tour in SW Ontario. Didn't see as many layouts as other years because I had 2 of my kids with me, and needed to visit the toilets at every place because my 2 year old was in her first week of being fully potty trained. :) So I visited several that I...

Not all, but I've come close (18 or 19 layouts). That was a bunch of years ago when we were single and fast. :) There are more layouts to choose from now, plus some are spread out more, and now I have kids to look after too. I try to visit a bunch of different layouts each year, that's the only...

For those of us in SW Ontario, or even beyond. dhdev1.htm I'm planning on going again this year. :)

Awesome set of pictures!!!!!!! :) That last unit of 5, the one without dynamics, is that one of the former TH & B units?

Who makes the yellow Dodge pickup? That's HO scale, right?

Email sent. :)

Thread hijack: Ron, where are these numbers from (which provider)? The preschool I am on the board of is looking to set up a website and the costs we've been given are substantially higher.

The GO runs to Barrie now. They've been talking about high speed VIA for 15-20 years or more. I'll believe it when I see it. The biggest problem would be a dedicated line to handle the high speeds instead of sharing the freight line with CN.

It's definitely a kit, as it has numbers at the corners for mating parts, and a few slots for locating mating parts. Seems to be a low budget/limited run type job too. No idea how old it might be.... I enjoyed the Woodstock show, or at least half of it. I left after only visiting half the...

Picked up this used house at a model train show Sunday, along with a bunch of other awesome deals. Does anyone know who its made by and how old it is? I've never seen one like it before. With a bit of paint and TLC I think it will look quite nice!

Partly true, it should be here later this year finally, and in RTR, not resin kit! Check out the website, there's some video and sound clips of the model there!

Is there an MSDS available for floor tiles?

Awesome. :)

Some of the early ones had a red VIA like the red noodle, right?

You'd probably get a ticket from DOT for using nylon straps instead of chains and binders on the forklift. Other than that, everything looks good. Well done!
