Hello Everyone---Canadian modellers are fortunate to have a couple of manufacturers who specialize in producing some excellent (in my opinion) Canadian prototype freight,passenger and motive power models.True Line Trains and Rapido Trains are becoming my favourite choices when it comes to purchasing new additions to my roster.Here's some samples for your review

However,I am fortunate that I have another source which beats even these manufactures when it comes to producing some outstanding models---my good friend Doctor Wayne.I've included a shot of an EG&E baggage/express car which the Doc created from a Con-Cor model---the similarities with the Rapido car are remarkable---if I didn't know better,you might think it is a custom painted Rapido car---Doc,you're not moonlighting for Rapido are you :o
