Canada, eh?
Lookin' good, friend. :thumb: With all those diesels, I suppose you'll have no further use for these filthy old steam engines that are clogging up my layout.;) I'll see if I can get rid of them for you.

hi doc and dean---there's still a few steam engines around.this scene is from a small section of my layout that i've added a bit of scenery---it's amazing how a few trees and ground cover make a big difference---still a long way to go but it sure looks better than the pink expanses---thanks for your feedback,nutbar

Ahhh! We need to stop the clock circa 1958 - last days of steam in southern Ontario! ('Course, Ian Wilson sorta did that with his Steam... books ;))

Nice work guys! :thumb: :thumb:

Now I understand why I never saw that paint scheme on the CN locos: I imigrated to Canada in 1978.
Nice pics, thanks.
I have a SW9 TH&B on my N scale layout. Of course I never saw the " real McCoy" in action but I remember seeing some TH&B boxcars in the Montreal area until around 1980.
