I attended the annual model train show in Saskatoon Saskatchewan. It is held in the Western Development Museum which is where i help out with the full size live steam traction engines. I took a bunch of pics to share. There was a layout visiting from Edmonton that was just amazing. It was the highlight of the show for me. I will try and add descriptions to some of the pics but if anyone has any questions please ask and i will try and describe what i remember.
Now the picture quality is less than stellar as i took them on my Blackberry but it is definitely better than nothing. Next year i will try and remember my real camera.
