Layout Tour #1: The Peterborough Connection
The gathering of S scalers in Peterborough in March included Ron Scott, one
of our hosts, Charles Hicks, John Johnston, Oliver Clubine, Jim Martin from St.
Catharines and myself. Dave Mehew, a former S scaler who has incorporated
parts of his former S scale layout in his On30 layout, was the other host.
Oliver brought along a couple of his finished CNR vans. Very impressive.
There were also a bunch of chaps from the Coburg Model RR club but they
model in a smaller scale.
===============================================================
Ron and Dave have held a number of S scale gatherings in spring past and
decided they were due for another one. They also wanted us to view their two
new layouts. Both are beautifully scenicked and fully operational. Ron was
operating CPR and TH&B switchers on his around the wall layout. Dave's
features a bunch of critter locomotives and shorty rolling stock. It also
has a lot of great little vignette type scenes.
