I can relate to, and understand the overwhelming desire for “ready to run”, but I really do miss the Athearn Blue Box kits! I love when I go to a show and find one that has never been started and get it!

One of the things with this hobby that I really enjoy is reading through track planning books and individual track plans. I have my own ideas, but enjoy seeing the ideas of others too. One of these days I will learn a track planning program and try a few of my own! Now I am still using graph paper! One of my favourite books in my collection…

The club I belong to, Pine Ridge Railroaders, in Oshawa, Ontario, recently moved into a new club house (since the church we were in was sold and we were evicted.) located in the basement of the administration building at Scouts Canada’s Camp Samac. We have both HO and N in the club. Here are a couple photos of the progress on our layouts…

If anyone is going to be in the Markham, Ontario area on Saturday (September 20th), the guys from Railview Historical Association are having a free open house from 10:00 – 3:00. They have a great, and large, layout of Southern Ontario. Worth the visit! At the same time, George’s Trains will be having their annual Customer Appreciation Sale…

My very first train ride was on a CN Tempo from Windsor to Toronto. Ever since then I have been a huge fan of passenger trains. I love to run my VIA sets around my club’s layout (rather, I should say I did, and am looking forward to again since we are in a new clubhouse and the layouts are still under construction). Any other VIA fans…

Hi everyone,
I have somehow become the DCC guy at the store. I am getting to be proficient doing installations and using the LokProgrammer to get the sounds and the NCE for addressing and resetting decoders, etc. What I am lacking in is the more advanced programing. I have a customer who would like his headlights to dim for “rule 17”. …

I have some of my Dad’s post war Lionel and my Grandfather’s Marx, as well as my N and Ho. I have a dream of designing and building a 3 tier layout. O on the bottom, HO in the middle and N on the top. Probably just a basic oval on the O level. The HO level would have some switching capabilities, and likely also just a loop with a couple…

There’s nothing like working in a model train store that is situated right next to the CN mainline! I get model trains and real trains all day!
