Hi,
I've been thinking the same thing. There seems to be a disproportionate number of Forum members, not only from Ontario, but even more so from my home town, London.
Will all of the Forum members from London please reply. I am very curious as to the number of fellow ferroequinologists who are from London.

Hi Bill , I'm one of those Ontario guys,but I don't have a solid answer for you.Ontario is the most populated Province ,so there are more stores etc which may have something to do with it. There are quite a few clubs as well I was a member of one of the older more finished ones for about 15 years until i moved over an hour and a half away. Lots of Western Canadian modlers as well from the prairies,I would think the winter temps are more of a reason for them though.
I suppose you could immigrate to be around more modelersmind you in all seriousness theer are lots of good modellers spread pretty much accross both countries,one does have to drive as bit to find them sometimes though.

Why does model railroading seem to be so popular in Ontario. In going through my old MRs I've seen more than a few contributors from there. Theres a few guys on the forum from there and I was just wondering is it just me or the long Canadian winters,or what. I think its a good thing by the way and would like to live in a place where there are a few more modelers. Theres a few here in Idaho but mostly in the Boise area which is five hours from here, 100 mile north is Spokane which has a pretty strong community too.Anyways,anybody got any answers?
