NMRA Achievement Award

 I recently completed five years as President of NMRA Canada.  It has been a wonderful opportunity to work with volunteers from across Canada as we seek to promote the hobby and serve the NMRA members who live in Canada.  I now have my Association Official Award to place beside my Scenery Award.


More Waterville Progress

The past couple of months has seen slow but steady progress, especially in the Waterville section of the layout.  The following photos show areas to the east of the previously posted photos.

The community church and parsonage dominate the residential neighbourhood on the west side of town.

This view from beside the station shows the Waterville Enterprises property, including the Esso bulk plant, a large potato storage warehouse, the building supply complex, and the cattle pens.  All are served by rail.  

Here is another view of the same area:

To the east of town, these houses are next to the industrial area that is dominated by the large BQM Meat Packing Plant.
