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 model is a HO scale Atlas Classic series RS11 lettered for DW&P, ROAD #3612. The diesel has been converted to an RSD12 with the replacement of the 2 axle trucks with Atlas 3 axle trucks. The unit houses a Soundtrax decoder professionaly installed by Jacques Thuot. www.railways.incanada.net/Railway_Modelling/ModellerThuot.... This unit sounds great and runs perfect at any speed.. A MBE Alco exhaust stack was added to the long hood. The horn was relocated to the long hood just ahead of the cab roof. A MBE sinclair antenna was added to the cab roof. The unit is lightly weathered and the underframe and trucks are painted and weathered a grimy black, with Kadee #5 couplers front and back.
"All aboard The Golden Gate Express for a San Francisco holiday experience like no other! This winter, the Conservatory of Flowers premieres its first garden railway exhibition. It's a celebration of the city of San Francisco as model G-gauge trains wend their way through a lush landscape of dwarf plants and steam past mini versions of the city's landmark buildings. From Mission Dolores to the Golden Gate Bridge, Coit Tower to Chinatown's dragon gate, replicas of San Francisco's most famous places are set amongst miniature gardens and parks to create a magical setting for this special holiday attraction. Visitors will also enjoy a vintage train station seating area, appearances by costumed conductors and interpretive materials about the development of San Francisco and its railways. So, gather the family and get on track. The Golden Gate Express is a must see destination for the holidays! "

This photo is of a friend's HO scale B&M RDC. I used PhotoShop 7 to replace the background of the image as it was originaly a picture of a basement support post. :)

LV ALCo's with the Empire State Shows train in South Yard. Replacements in the form of GP38's rest next to the train.
This New York Central O or O27 gauge train barely misses its own caboose.
NYC had Alco FAs, however the unit # on the locomotive is incorrect.

The PC GP9-RS27 pair that I set up before the show are back together and maybe set up a train for this pair as long nobody puts them away...
Accidents happen, right? The real accident in here was one of the guys that used to work for us accidentally broke the head off of one of Tim's model construction workers. Instead of throwing him in the trash and keeping his mouth shut, David got creative and incorporated him into the scenery. You should have heard Tim laugh when he finally noticed it.
