This is another Wabash F-4 2-6-0 that I bought this past week. I have several of them, but they are scarce models, only 65 were imported to the US in 1965 by AHM. When I see them come up for sale, I pick them up if they priced right. International / Takara imported the same model in 1960. These are the seller's photos from the Ebay listing.

The layout represents a small industrial line, somewhere in British Columbia, Canada. Featuring a small terminus station where Budd Rail Cars take passengers to work. The line has mixed freight services from both Canadian National (CN) and Canadian Pacific (CP). A small fuel terminal receives fuel tankers thanks to its track access. Cut Lumber is delivered to the Timber yard by truck and departs in mixed freight cars. The larger industrial building receives and dispatches multiple box cars.
We purchased the layout in 2017 as we needed a small layout that could be transported by car to exhibitions. It was named in memory of club member and former Chairman Gregor Williamson. As Gregor had an interest in Canadian Railways, we run mostly CP and CN Railroad locos and freight cars although you will see stock from railroads all over North America.
The club has decided to keep the layout on a longer term and completely refurbish it. This has included building a complete new board (replacing two individual sections), a full rewire, and some new scenery, along with a general overhaul of the layout.
Williamson River was featured in the October 2020 issue of Continental Modeller.
Sunday the 26th was the last day the Gadsden-Pacific Division Toy Train Operating Museum was open before the summer closing. Our grand-nephew and his family came to visit on the three day Memorial Day weekend, so we had an opportunity to take them. I have a feeling we'll be going back once they reopen in the fall.

This is a Gem Models O scale IC 2-4-4T that I bought as a pile of parts on Ebay a few years ago. I soldered / reassembled all the pieces to have this when completed. It runs good (O scale two rail operation.) The finish is brass paint with clear finish over raw brass.
This photo is of my custom built turntable. It's quite small in size with the bgidge measuring a mere 7 1/2" in length but it will hold switchers and even a GP9 !!!. Yikes. Not much clearance there ... the safety officers are normally around to make sure things go right.
The Monashee Pacific was a proposed railway in the 1950's that was never built. The Edmonton Model Railway Association, located at Fort Edmonton Park, has created a world where this railway exists. The level of detail is incredible, from the towns, the trains and the people, no minute detail has been omitted. There is even someone taking a crap in the woods with a bear approaching him.
I could have spent days photographing this incredible layout. I have only included the highlights.
Today, the train set is maintained thanks to the efforts of museum volunteers Ira Ginsburg, Bob DeGuarde, and Ken Zippler. In fact, Ginsburg was one of the original creators of the display and has overseen its development since the Nabsico days. If it weren’t for Ginsburg, who worked as a security guard at Nabisco by night and on the trains by day, the exhibit probably wouldn’t exist today. The original display barely resembled what’s on view now, but, over the years, he added more figures, more cars, and more track, sometimes at his own expense. Looking back on the display since its inception, Ginsburg views it as an ever-changing work of art. Rightfully so. With all the materials, time, and energy devoted to the display, preserving the trains and scenery has really been a labor of love.
