Well the wife and I just returned from traveling across Canada By Via from Toronto CDA to Jasper CDA and then by The Rockey Mountaineer to Vancouver CDA. All I can say about the trip was that it was excellent. The staff of the VIA were there for you at every turn and the meals were excellent. Everything on the Rockey Mountaineer was First Class and above from the Staff to all the meals served (WOW how do they do it). Really enjoy the scenery throught Northern Ontario and the flat lands of the Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Love Jasper area so peaceful and the mountains of Alberta and British Columbia, what can I say but beautiful.We arrived in Vancouver just after the riots after the Stanley Cup Final. Saw some windows boarded up, but the rest of the area was cleaned up by the city and local volunteers. "GREAT JOB GUYS " . It sure was the trip of a life time, met so many fine people from all over the world, especially a couple from New Zealand, Brian and Lynn. Brian's grandson is interested in trains so I told Brian to keep in touch and I will help them out no matter what scale they choose to model. Well by for now.

The LGB Uinath#50 Mallet is being deliverd after about two years of waiting. I am sure happy about this for I have been looking forward to this locomotive for a long time. Thank You Marklin.
Well we start our trip across Canada on the VIA and Rockey Mountaineer next Friday. The wife and I are really looking forwarded to this trip. Should be a great time. Attended a train display at Maritime Hobbies Halifax NS Canada last night put on by Jason from Rapito Trains of their HO F9A's and the complete set of 2a and 1b unit Tuscan and Grey along with 10 passengers cars that make up the set of the Canadian that ran accross Canada from Toronto to Vancouver. There are only 2000 sets being produce. The detail, no other way to descripe it but SUPERB IN EVERY WAY. I am in G Scale and these are in HO, I am thinking of buying a set just to have them as a collectors item. I fell in love with them the moment I saw them
