I'm building a large O gauge layout with a modern motif. You won't find your father's Classic Toy Trains here. Instead, you'll find a running conversation about the marvels (and miscues) of modern O gauge trains, operating accessories, realistic scenery, structures, and details on my model railroad -- all inspired by current Canadian railway operations in Vancouver and locations throughout British Columbia, Canada.

S-P-I-R-I-T Train!
Although the 2010 Winter Olympics concluded last weekend, neither the Olympic spirit nor the Canadian Pacific Spirit Train has left town. In a few weeks, Vancouver will host the Paralympics Winter Games. Accordingly, my version of the CPR Spirit Train will continue to hang loose in the waterfront yard, a location immediately adjacent to a parking area filled with marquee tents featuring Canadian history exhibitions. Weaver Royal Hudson #2860 with TMCC leads MTH ES44AC #8733, plus an MTH CPR flatcar with a custom-decorated container (color copied at 128% for K-Line containers) Lionel Standard O CPR boxcar, Weaver CPR RPO, and a pair of MTH CPR heavyweight passenger cars. On a side note -- can you find all the LEGO parts I used? The forthcoming May 2010 issue of CTT will reveal all!
