I have just got back from vacation on the west coast. Went to meet up with friends and family. Visited with long time friend, fellow geologist and model railroad enthusiast Marc Simpson. Marc was able to get me down to meet Mark Dance and see his world class layout, The Columbia and Western Railway.

i took my HBMS #2 to Marc’s layout for a few photo ops. Marc models HBMS and the CN line. 

This is me at Mark Dance’s layout. It is everything and more that I have read about and watched online. If you are an operations type modeller, this is certainly a layout you would like to visit.
