Apologies to George R.R. Martin.

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.

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.

This is an Roundhouse kit 3 window van lettered for GTW road # 79050 . The van has additional details added such as smoke stack, and window glazing. The unit has metal wheels and Kadee #5 couplers front and back. The underframe and trucks are painted and weathered a grimy black and the van has been lightly weathered.

Having one of these could be a lot of fun.
