Saskatoon Train Show(lots of pics)
#1
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. Smile

I saw a pic of what looked like an Athearn blue box F7b unit with the logo "Miniatronics Electraclean II". Do you know anything about those? I've never heard of one before. Do you know how it works?

No idea. I actually took the pic for the loco with the open engine bay. I was so interested in it that i didn't even notice the blue one.

here is the link for the club that operates the layout. Maybe you can contact someone there for more info. Also they have some more pictures that are much clearer then the ones i took.

Yes that crane facility was amazing. These guys are located right in the heart of the Canadian Oil fields and i would bet that many of them work in the industry. With that much experience and the real thing being so close i am sure they had some great prototypes to model it after. And as soon as i saw the crane and the facility I thought that I should take a picture to post just for you Trucklover. Big Grin
