Bergie didn't do homework - Canadian Articulates

[Anonymous]

Meanwhile, up here in Canada eh! with a great white Queenie mother with frizzy steel wool for hair STILL on our money in the 21st century alredy, and we want to have Canadian protypical model trains? We had our chance to be a part of the New World in 1776 and said NO when we might have had a real say. With a population of about 30 million today in Canada, maybe, lets be happy for the abundance of models we are offered.

I've done a "Google" search, and a search in the Index of Magazines but was unable to find a photo or plans for the cited 0-4-4-0. Can anyone provide more information on it ?

You may already have this-http://www.railways.incanada.net/industrials/Nova_Scotia.pdf
It shows Glasgow and Cape Breton Coal having three Fairlie 36" gauge two boiler 0-4-4-0's built by Avonside:
s/n's 907-908 1871
s/n's 909-910 1872
s/n's 911-912 1871
All three scrapped in 1903.

Well...if the Queen's picture offends you, and you don't qualify for a debit or credit card.....you might want try using paper money, as the Queen's picture was discontinued on that particular type of Canadian currency quite a while back.

Or just use Canadian Tire money, which features a male Scot....but he's also white, I'm afraid.[:0]

I see your protest against all things English includes the language itself, with "alredy" and "protypical" as new Republic of Canada thesaurus entries.[:p]

Your knowledge of history is a bit suspect. The only additional colony in British North America that might have become "the fourteenth" US colony, was Nova Scotia, mainly due to its' own New England population demographics, and to the terrible British abuses inflicted upon the French Acadians.
The rest of what became Canada, 91 years after 1776, was embroiled in a French vs. English struggle throughout most of the 17th and 18th centuries....come to think of it, thoughout every century since then, too.[:I][:I][B)][B)]

Gee whiz Mike, if we were to take all offending contributors (of which there are many many) to task for their spelling, grammar and syntax errors, in addition for their questionable understanding of their nation's history and/or geography, or that of other nations, we would spend too much of our time and space on forums such as this trying to show them the error of their ways. After all they are just trying to be "articulate" about articulateds and such, I assume.

It shows Glasgow and Cape Breton Coal having three Fairlie 36" gauge two boiler 0-4-4-0's built by Avonside:

All three scrapped in 1903.

Isambard,
Many thanks, I did not have that URL, although I had also searched my Canadian archival URLs. Having learned that they were Fairlies, I've now more or less lost interest, as I was hoping they were mini-Mallets rather than double enders.
