I've been modelling a couple of VIA coach lines (yellow/grey

'spline' car (6 beds, 14 axles grouped as 7 trucks, and just
two couplers), if there is any interest, as well as a couple
drop-bed grey flatbeds. You can see some pictures of the trains
at http://www.baylug.org/zonker/canadian/.

I was telling Zonker that maybe we should have the Calgary train fans
vote on which is the better VIA train (since JamesP is sending his also.)
The only two VIA LEGO trains I've ever seen anywhere - BOTH
at Canada's largest model train show.  This is getting exciting.
I just hope the weather is as nice in three weeks as it is now...

This is really, really nice!

Also, I loved your pictures of the LRC. Those are awesome shots! I've always
thought the LRC is North America's most aesthetically pleasing train. The
nose is so wonderful! I really wonder if it would translate well into LEGO.

Don't forget to do the tilting of the coaches! ;)

Very nice.  I'd be happy to show it along with the rest.
Can you get it to me within the next two weeks?
