I had no time to go to the Woodstock show, but that's ok, I had no $$ to spend either. I have heard that there will be a Niagara Falls model train show Oct 28. Let me do some digging and see if I can find some more details...

It's also the Woodstock Model Train show this Sunday. I guess your report answers my question as to whether or not George's will be at the show. :)

You must have the only store in Canada with any left. Around here, they went FAST! Sold out within a few weeks.

Awesome pics. Thanks for sharing. :)

Hi Chris, good to see you back. Will you be at the Toronto Christmas show again?

Ron, it appears that OSR sold the 44 tonners to the grain elevator they were used at, not long after they bought them. There are at least 3 RS23s, and they do get used regularly. Old Time Trains for more OSR info.

The Woodstock station and it's surrounding area is replicated quite well on the layout, judging from the pictures, except for maybe the trackage and amount of greenery. Thanks for posting the pics. :)

Hi Ron, nice to see such a unique railway being modeled. The closest I've ever come to the GWWD (that I know about) is the railway crossing of the TransCanada in east Manitoba. There is a handful of RS23's operating on the Ontario Southland ex-CP line less than 5 minutes from my work here.

Are you a member of that club? Do you have any more photos of the Galt station or some of the Woodstock station? Do you know how they built the models of those stations?

Wayne, am I reading this right, that you're using the ballast "curbs" to lock your buildings in place? Neat idea....

Who makes the big blue LTD that's parked beside the Stang?

Wow! There's quite a few of us Canucks on here! :)

Do you have Burt Reynolds and Sally Fields LPBs for the Firebird? :)

Ok, I went back and took a closer look at the Massey Harris sign in the pictures. I admire it when people get their history right on their layouts. You have an awesome start to your layout, keep it up! :)

Getting technical here, but I believe in the 50's it would be a Massey Harris plant, not Massey Ferguson. You have an awesome start on your layout. I love seeing in progress photos, especially with bits of buildings laying around to mark the location of future completed buildings. :)

Methinks the Firebird needs the gold honeycomb rims and a smoky behind it. :)

No, still government owned (thankfully). The province backed out of selling after after seeing some of the political problems of the CN takeover of BC Rail around the same time. Interesting thing is ON owns/operates a big chunk of ex-CN between Cochrane and Hearst. And CN still gets into...

GO gets a lot of its equipment fixed by ON in North Bay, since both are owned by the provincial government.

Is the Canadian really that long???!!!! Awesome sight! :)

Awesome pics Wayne, of the Cayuga area, and the "Twenty" bridge. :)
