Benchwork done! Well with donations and help we have finished the benchwork for the 4 moduals. The City of Sudbury has givin us a nice clean room for a few months to work on the layout! More to follow!

Congradulations! All he needs now is engineers diapers! LOL

Just an update. Canadian National has reviewed the site and has become a major corporate sponsor!!

Ok, maybe I am not explaining myself well! Not unusual!! We are limited in space and resourses so the layout will be a small likeness of the Town and yard. The buildings will be made acurately for the era and we will try to have Capreol on one end and Foleyet (Ruil Subdivision on the other end)...

Layout We are starting on the track plan now. The historical accuracy is not that important, just a small representation of the yard and town with lots of scenery and action for kids. We are fortunate that Nickel Belt Rails Publishing company will be putting together a magazine for us to...

The Northern Ontario Railroad Museum & The Roundhouse (Home) have joined forces to create an educational module layout that will be brought to schools and malls to promote The town of Capreol & Railroad history. This layout will never be expanded or grouped with any clubs layout at shows so we...

Here is a picture of an electric loco from 1919 on the site. If you look through the site you will also see an old ore car. Northern Ontario Railroad Museum: Other Park Items I know it is not a good picture because it was scanned from a book, but this is the slag being dumped at night from the...

Wow! Because of the web site: www.railroadtown.ca/ Canadian National has invited me to go on a all day train trip in the cab of the #115 from Capreol Ontario to Foloyet and back. About a 400 mi. trip! And all the pictures I can take!!!! The best part is that is that I am going on May 8th. my...

Yep, Have been trying to set up a train sim! Easier said than done :<

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement guys! And congrats to both of your famillies on the new additions! I had posted the same thread on another forum and you would not believe the feedback I got!

Thats gives me an interesting idea Russ! The layout could be protected by a plexiglass cover on hinges, but use a small inexpensive DCC like Bachmann`s for the kids to take turns running the train. Would teach them history, Railroading and Computerized operation, And we all know the appeal of...

I agree Rob, how many of us really caught the bug by seeing a train set going around a Christmas tree, or getting that Lionel or Marx set for Christmas! I know that as a child my parents used to take me every year to the train layout display at Jordan Marsh, (now Macys) I was hooked ever sense...

Come on guys! all I need is some pictures of your layouts!
