With some hard work by members the Canadian Toy Train Association now has an updated much improved website with easy to load and read newsletters on the latest events and limited edition custom run cars.

Check it out ! The newsletter link is bottom right of the page, with a report from York; several members made the group trip to York and group visits to other train related stuff.

If you are looking for the sold out cars, first try some of the local Hobby shops in B.C. or Canada several have stock, Central Hobbies Vancouver, Kelly's Kaboose in Kamloops, or Petersen Supply Company are some you might try.

 

Or send an e-mail to someone on the newletter list they could put the request out at a local meet several go up for auction at the monthly meetings.

 

The Club has been displaying the club layout at several US shows. They are at the Great Train show in Puyallup Washington this weekend.

At the last meeting we had a great barbecue lunch and I think around 60 people the room was full. Guys bring stuff to auction off or sell at tables. The auction went a couple of hours at least and several nice older Lionel sets seems new in box went for some pretty good prices.

 

Club sets it's layout up at a few shows including a couple of US shows.

 

Many of the guys are going for a group visit to York each fall about 20+ last year went.

They visit rail theme museums and other club layouts and private tours.

 

Here are some shots of the club layout in action at CN Family days a few weeks back.

Can everybody please encourage MTH to produce the Canadian National CN EXPO '86 train as a complete set in 2016. In the Premier line MTH has an SD40-2 diesel, 48' trailer on flat car, Single-door PS-1 50' box car, double-door 50' box car that are as close as possible. The SD40-2 needs the wide cabin and the double-door box cars need a plug door as the left door. This is what the Canadian collectors and operators need.
