Hello All again, I forgot to say that I model in H.O. and my railway is loosely based on Keith Yard about 9 miles west of Calgary, I said loosely, actually it is very lose as it is only about a quarter of the length of the real one. It is 29'x 12' in a purpose built building in the garden. However,I am happy with what I've got and it has given me many happy hours of modelling since I started it in 2004. It is DCC powered using Digitrax control I currently have 48 locos of which about half have sound, mainly QSI ant a few Soundtraxx Tsunami's. 47 of the locos are diesel and 1 steam, an H1b Hudson that will eventually become 2816 with sound. Getting the stock to run behind it might prove a little difficult to find but thats for the future. As for me ,I am retired from the printing industry and previously a good number of years in the army. I am married with 4 children, 7 grandchildren and 1 great grandson. I've promised to turn him into a modeller one day. That's enough for now Regards Colin
