    A Quick Question

    from another beginner... I'm a beginer too, I have perhaps at most a 2 month head start on you. So whilst it's fresh in my mind I'll share my limited insight. a) great start - you are using this forum for advice.

    Anyone familiar with the OAPS ?

    Chad, Thanks for the magazine reference. I've ordered a backissue. I've never seen this magazine before so it will be interesting to get a copy. Depot Harbour seems to attract lots of attention, but just so I can be different (it looks to difficult to model if you ask me) I'm leaving it out...

    Anyone familiar with the OAPS ?

    Guys, Thanks for the leads - I am receiving some great advice from Ron (who is on the slippery slope to becomming my model RR mentor..) and a lucky strike on the web yesterday yielded an address for Niall whom I have emailed. I'm hoping to get some solid information on the Madawaska division...

    Anyone familiar with the OAPS ?

    Hi, New to the Gauge, my first post so let me know if this is the wrong place for this thread... I'm interested in collecting more information on the Ottawa Arnprior & Parry Sound, which has mostly dissappeared now. Anybody out there knowledgeable on prototype track plans or operations...
