Exporail in St-Constant

The modelling get together at the train museum in Delson is now a thing of the past. Judging by the size of the crowd it was a rousing success. We would like to thank all those who stopped by the display. It’s true we were at the entrance to the museum, but it was great to see the people head right for our display.

We had 4 people manning our booth, Nathalie, Luc, Jean-Claude, and Sylvain, we warmly thank them for there time.

Youngsters were lined up to get a hold of the controls, and manipulate a train in Pine Station. We did notice that a lot of children young and old alike jumped at the chance to use the controls while Moms and Dads stood back and marvelled at the sight of the kids manipulating the enormous control or perhaps they were just a little overwhelmed by all the buttons. But there is no denying that children today are not intimidated by electronic gadgets. The way they were handling the controls you would swear they where born with a controller in there hands.

Many people were interested in the materials used in the construction of the layout, while others were fascinated by how the layout was decorated wondering how they can use the ideas on there own layouts. It was a real pleasure getting good wishes and exchanging ideas on different construction methods.

The next chance to greet the public will be on November 28 & 29 at 5356 Belanger at the home of the Richelieu Valley Railroad and the Vermont & Essex. We look forward to seeing you and exchanging more great ideas.
