Last Look at the Thompson River Canyon Layout
Posted by JDL56 on Sunday, October 9, 2016 1:25 PM

Now that the Thompson River Canyon N scale layout is finished, and been shown in public for the last time, I took a few photos outside in the sunshine to remember it. Find them, and a few reflections on the experience, on my blog at http://cprailmmsub.blogspot.ca/2016/10/last-look-at-thompson-river-canyon.html

Gorgeous, John. You did a great job capturing the feel of the prototype in a beautiful, challenging place. I'm sure Ken would be proud and thankful.

John,

The Thompson River Canyon layout is a fine tribute to your brother-in-law and his remains "riding" your rails is a grand and fitting memorial.

Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving, regards, Peter
