Finally the Toronto Star posted an article worthy of my attention. It's about a guy who started a successful model train business in Ontario called Rapido Trains. He's recently become the first person to manufacture and sell a working model of Canada's long lost Turbo Trains. You can read his nice story here, and then buy his trains here. Since my model train collection is N-Scale only, I guess I'll have to wait until he can find a Chinese injection molding company that can make really, really tiny plastic parts. Here's a video of his beloved model Turbo Train in action:

Truly inspiring, Jamie! :-) Maybe someday I will be able to take up this noble hobby myself. However, you forgot to put in the hyperlink to http://www.rapidotrains.com

Ah, yes, Jamie, lately I have been commenting on your blog almost as infrequently as I have been updating my own. The family is doing well . . . not so Operation Bear Hunt. Anyway, I see that people are still asking you to pimp their ride.

Hey Luke.. always good to hear from you! Sorry you haven't found any bears yet.
If you ever give up the search, move back to the T dot O and need your ride pimped, just give me a holla'.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
