Some of our American members may not be aware of a small model railroading publication,Canadian Railway Modeller, but may be interested to know that the current, May-June 2012, issue has a very nice article on the "Samuel Ridge Subdivision" written by Mike McGrattan (Puddington).  Mike's modelling also made the cover.  It does seem, however, that the editor managed to put one photograph together with the caption for a photo that was not published!

Congratulations, Mike!!

Hey Greg,
Any idea how us south of the border types can get one of these?  I need to add it to my collection of N Scale Modelers I knew When . . .

And Pud, I distinctly remember a lengthy conversation in these parts about getting this published - congrats man, well deserved!

Hi Philip,

The magazine should be available directly from the publisher, North Kildonan Publications - Canadian Railway Modeller, PO Box 35087 RPO Henderson, Winnipeg, MB, Canada R2K 4J9.

Cheers,

Thanks Greg; oddly enough I have not seen the magazine or cover.....Morgan sent me author's copy by Canada Post, who have routed them via Melborne or Timbuck Too.....sigh !

I was told of the boo boo by Morgan, I wasn't upset; these things happen.

Thanks for the nice comments !

Yeah, but nothing says CPR in British Columbia like H16-44s and C-Liners.  I kept looking for them in the photograph, as the caption says, but all I could find was Geeps!!  Morgan did redeem himself, however, by publishing three photographs showing MLW power - including the cover!!

Hmm - nope, sorry Mike, got my copy last week but yours wasn't attached to it  ;)

I whole-heartedly add my voice to all congratulations (including my own from the SNFF thread) - well done!
