What's New!

March 19, 2025

Spring is arriving in many regions of Canada right now with the usual mix of warmth, cold, sun, rain and snow. For many of us that means we are starting our spring cleaning and planning the next stages of our modelling railroading and during this time I recomend that you have a look at the latest issue, #91, of The Canadian, as it is ready in the members area to view and download.

Be sure to have a look at this issue of The Canadian for all of the features and articles. You can also check out all of the past issues in the members area.

Over the next few months you will some areas of the website being updated and I hope to see you soon at gatherings like shows and open houses, until then stay healthy and enjoy the hobby and friends.
