Booming and electric Well here around Montreal, Quebec, we are seeing new commuter tracks being added, for the first time in many years, also there is talk to electrify some train lines, as we only have one that has catenary, ther is talk to add catenary to two more of them. And the Montreal...

Nice Nice benchwork there!!! I'm moving in a new house in a month its in a new area, so lots of spare wood is lying around that is being thrown out, I will pick some up for the new train room benchwork too!!!

Thanks Thanks for the heads up guys, I will already have the Athern parts number for the break wheels, now I will look up the rest with the brands that you gave me thanks. Cheers!

Any news on how the boxcabs are becoming??? Would love to see them.... Terry

Electrics I love electrics the best, anyone know where I could find a Z-1 CN Boxcab from the 67XX series in HO ??? Terry
