CNR 5700
Looking into the firebox of CNR 5700 steam engine on display at St. Thomas. Judging by the condition, I don’t think its had a fire in it recently….

Canada Southern Railroad (CASO) Free-Mo Group
click on image for large version….
For the last several months in addition to my Bronx Terminal layout I have also been involved in a Free-Mo (Free Modular) group modeling the Canada Southern Railroad, a line that ran through Southern Ontario between Fort Erie and Windsor. This line was a “short cut” across Ontario and was used by several railroads over the years and has a very interesting history.
In the fall I was asked if I wanted to join the group and build a model of LaSalette, a town not far from where I grew up (Delhi). I accepted the offer and have had lots of fun working with the group on the project.
This past weekend was our first set up of all the modules involved. This took place at the former CASO train station in St. Thomas. This station is an impressive structure that is being restored to its former glory and was an excellent venue for this event. I spent more time photographing the building than anything else (pictures soon).
I have set up a gallery of pictures of the layout from last weekend. The pictures show a few shots from the modules, including my LaSalette module. Below are a few from the gallery…
The complete gallery can be found at the link below, the CASO gallery is at the bottom of that page.

Three blonds were walking in the forest one day. They saw a set of tracks and started arguing over what kind of tracks they were.
The first blond said, “I think they’re deer tracks!”
The second blond said, “I think they’re dog tracks!”
The third blond said, “Well, I think they’re cow tracks!”
They were still arguing when the train hit them.
Even though there is a “about the author” thing below this post, I didn’t write the joke above. I can’t take any credit blame for it, other than copying it from somewhere else. Pretty much sums up the entire internet.
