Model Train Corrner

[Machinist]

I am part of Coffs Harbour Railway Modellers. We have one of the biggest movable layouts in the southern hemisphere. The hole thing fits into a trailer. Have a look at our website. The site's not entirely finished but you can get the picture of how big the layout is by a few of the construction photos.

Awesome work... Congrats

I never was a model train guy but I do enjoy it. couple reasons why I'm not into it;

Time
Space
Money

Anyways, I do have some model trains. Mostly from my father who found them in foreclosed homes.
I did own a EMD SD40-2(W) in CN livery but I have no idea where it is. My mother probably is behind it.

Here they are;
The Go Train one is powered. The lost SD40-2(W) was not. It cost about 80$ when I got it.

The BC box car has a metal frame. (the underneath )

OK! But this particular topic is about model trains. What does that image have to do with model trains?

i think its because i specificaly bought VIA #918 which is the loco in the photo....other than that it has nothing to do with this topic?

OK! That makes sense now. I guess if I had read a little closer I would have known the answer to my question before I ever asked it.

My bad.

However, don't worry about it now. Your post makes sense, as I mentioned in my previous post.

well here they are....although you may note that my eyes are getting worse because the via loco was 916 and not 918....
