I'm off to the Great British Train Show in Toronto, Canada. Sponsored by The Platelayers Society, it is a train show featuring only UK-themed layouts, vendors, and displays. As someone who loves British Railways, this is right up my alley. When I went in 2024 I had a fantastic time, and my only regret was that I didn't spend enough time at the show itself. Now, I am going by myself and plan to spend most of Saturday and the show taking it all in.
The last time I was there I picked up three old Hornby O gauge tinplate cars that I was told would run on Lionel O gauge track (they do). Perhaps this year I will add a few more such items to my collection.
On the way there, I am stopping in Buffalo to see my friend Frank Battaglia who has had three different layouts featured in OGR magazine! (Run 109, Run 144, and Run 214). The story behind that is sad, but the latest layout is fantastic and he is a great guy in general. I can't wait to see him.
I just hope I don't get lost in Canada, as my GPS doesn't work there.
Cheers!
