TH&B is a favourite of mine.

Did you know that Stelco Steel based in Hamilton, Ontario was at one time had the third largest railway in Canada? Me neither!

The TH&B steam loco, rail #502 in my pic , was scrapped in 1959, by non other than Stelco's predecessor.
But I digress. LOL.
Back to Vettes and the present century.

Yes. 350' of HO track and layout. Keeps me somewhat busy in winter.
I model mostly TH&B. But also all freight and locos that ran on this RW.
NYC, Penn Central, CP, Conn Rail, G&E, etc.
I'm in Stratford Ont that used to be one of the main repair and maintenance facilities for CN steam in the east.
Always loved late 40's to mid 60's era.
Also into American Muscle Cars. Traded last one in on a C8 HTC.
