any other Canadian out there?
Posted by chateauricher on Sunday, February 20, 2005 1:40 AM
I'm curious to meet other Canadians. [:)]

I live near Quebec City, and I'm sure there are other Canadians out there. In fact, I know there are : I've seen a some of you posting here. [;)]

So, stand up and be counted ! [^]

You mean there are trains moving now? Since when do you have time to run trains?

I'll have to swing by this spring and see this. [;)]

While I'm currently living in Milwaukee for college, my family is from Toronto and I enjoy dual citizenship.

My layout is 100% Canadian though, and I intend to head back up north upon graduation.

Go Leafs! (umm if they ever decide to start playing again!!)

Hi. I am new to this forum, although I have been 'lurking' for several weeks. I live in Comox, Vancouver Island, and recently retired from the Armed Forces. Building a waayyy ambitious layout with no experience. Scale is HO, TH&B 4-6-4 from BLI (what a great loco), and a P2K Heritage 0-6-0 for short,steep work. Latter is also a very nice loco, but must install decoders to match the BLI Hudson. Wife getting nervous about $ (ok, so am I).

My regards to train-runners everywhere.

So, we Canadians are out here.
