The omnipresent pair of SD40-2’s are starting to crawl up ‘the hill’ eastbound on their way to Regina and Winnipeg or south on the SOO line to Estevan and points in the US heartland.

Don’t save the railroad bridge and water feature for your rural scenes. Modellers tend to concentrate their efforts on grubby old industrial areas from out of the past, yet today’s railways are found next to clean, modern high rise buildings in tranquil, park like settings right downtown. There’s no smoke and coal dust to rain down on today’s family picnic.
