The Little Train Shop doesn't carry much in the way of British stuff but does have some Bachmann . You should drive down to Credit Valley in Streetsville for a better selection and pricing.

The were a few times for me also but he was patient.I was able to buy a number of cars that he had weather for himself and a few buildings before he passed away,and they will always remind me of Dave.

I used to stop in at John's but I always got the feeling that they think I am going to steal something.Hornet Hobbies is a nice store also but just like Robert said the prices are a little high.Georges Trains in Markham is a great store for HO&N and the guys there are very helpful especially Dan...

When you go out this way again Robert you should pack a lunch and do some railfanning from the station platform here in Georgetown.We have lots of trains from CN,GEXR and also VIA. The station is only open for each VIA train 1/2 hour before and after ,so you can go inside and look around.

There are a few good LHS in the Toronto area,which one did you go to? If you are ever in Burlington stop in at Trains on Brant,they seem to have better pricing on all the new stuff. I find that they sell brand new stuff for cheaper than Train show sales of old stock,but shows are where you can...

the canadianmodelrailroader has listed hobby junction in dorval,van horne hobby in laval,loco passion in montreal.

When the basement was in the design process we planned out where the best place for the train room to go,and when it came to painting the sky blue she called me at work to find out how high off the floor to paint and did a great job.When we start building the layout I know she will be there to...

I started out with a 4x8 stuck in the corner of an unfinished basement.Now that its finished I have a room about 12x8 to start building my layout

After the Paris show a couple years back we went over to the main and watched the VIA go buy and the CN freight sitting in the hole start rolling,the noise was amazing all for 4 engines screaming,but from the safety of the parking lot.Some of the railfans were inches from the tracks without a...

That was a great tour of the layout,see you still have more to finish.Maybe one day upper management might reconsider.In the picture of all your boxes it looked just like Niagara Central Hobby's store shelf.Thank you

I have some of the roundhouse hoppers for the Great Slave railway and I was wondering if the TLT Caboose for that one is close to the real ones or would it need work?

I worked at the Chateau Lake Louise back in the 80's and took the train from Banff back to Lake Louise every week while I was there and spent all the time up in the dome.The fare was $5.We always went to Field to buy Kokanee and would watch the trains going thru the spiral tunnels.

Another amazing piece of modeling from you ,the pictures are excellent. I really enjoy your work and from all your pictures of your layout it would be worth paying admission to see.Have you every had an open house?

I don't know how they sell for less than everyone else around TO. I buy stuff from them sometimes $25- $40 cheaper than other LHS. The thing I have seen is they only sell the stuff that moves not much detail parts.

Saw them at Trains on Brant look nice $79.99 I think was the price they were selling for.

A friend of my wife's took the Canadian back to Sudbury for xmas and enjoyed the ride both ways.The train was late both times but she didn't mind because she didn't have to drive by herself and flying would have been around $500 or so.She even enjoyed dinner on the train.She is already planning...

I think I can,I think I can squeeze by NOT!

no i didn't notice that.the last time i rode the GO i fell asleep after going over the Grand Trunk bridge.I used to ride the first VIA train into TO every sunday which was usually an RDC back then.There was only a few people on board when we left town and after a while the conductor who got to...

We have the trains that leave in the morning from town but then it's only the buses after that.The VIA is only 3 times a day now(down from 5) to Toronto and unless the Government hands out to GO or VIA there isn't going to be any expansion on the Georgetown line. There is a more daily service...

the one thing about the bachmann dcc controller is that if the loco is sound equipped it doesnt control those functions . I have an Atlas 8-cw with dcc & sound that i activate with the quantum engineer attached to my dc powerpack maybe that would work with the bachmann also
