I thought something was amiss this year as the usual group outside selling food was not there.The replacements weren't very good,if my son wasn't clammering for a hotdog I wouldn't have spend a dime. David where was this held before this location?When I look back over the years it has slowly...

You have done an amazing job with these machines. Are you going to make up a gaylord (tote) of plastic to sit beside the machines? I work for a company that make's the hot runner for injection molding machines.

The one thing about the Brampton show is it takes place the weekend after the fall fair,and if the weathers warm the smell and fly's can be over powering(if you get my drift).This year it seemed that the vendor's were in short supply and some didn't even show up.The layout's were good as usual...

I went to the Brampton show and was very disappointed ,and even though I have never been to the Whitby show its too far of a drive(gas) for a smaller show especially with the Christmas show coming up the following weekend.I always find that this show brings in more out of town vendors and better...

When I was a teenager here in Georgetown one of the things to do was walk across the Grand Trunk trestle and back again.I only started to walk across when looking back towards the station I saw the light change indicating there was a train coming from Brampton no sooner did I turn around I saw...

And there's a nice takeout place right beside the bridge that makes really good fish&chips to eat while railfanning.

Most of the LHS that I go to often have the location close to the action,I mean they are sitting right beside the CN main line.This action goes hand in hand with modelrailroading,so look for a place near the tracks.The one store carries all scales(N,HO,LIONEL,S,G) and is heavy into Thomas...

When I first got into modelrailroading this was the magazine that they said would be the one to have all the information on Canadian Roads,and the information on suppliers for CN/CP.Some editions of MRR might have a paragraph in their whole magazine on modelling Canadian Roads if youre lucky.For...

I worked for a Transformer repair company at the plant one summer and also travelled up and down to Little Current for another trucking company as well as between the "Bay" and the Soo. That area has some of the nicest scenery in Ontario. When does your club have its open house next?

Is there plans to built the Lafarge Cement plant ?

Welcome Bud. I used to travel up and down the canyon hauling B-trains to Vancouver from Toronto and that area was amazing. Fast moving water and sheer cliffs and a TINY two lane highway. All the best with the layout.

Pictures are amazing .thanks for taking so many,i know what you mean about taking the kids with you .I only had my 2yr old and he was a handfull but you had 2 girls also and no backup.The boss said I had to work 1 day over the weekend and with the Lakeshore Flea Market at Humber on sunday it won...

The one year i went with my son,we stayed just in Cambridge and took in a couple ,the first layout was an n scale on a 4x6 table with an amazing trestle and the next one was downtown across from the CP yard in an older home in the basement with an amazing steel mill under construction.The tour...

Once again more amazing photo's from two fine gentleman,please keep them coming.

I am still in the layout design stage for the train room so my son's 4x8 is what i play on with him.Working 6 day's a week leaves little time for enjoying MRR but i do try to stop in at an LHS at least once a week (George's) to look at whats new and for idea's
