G'Day
If you are going all across Canada, you should check out the Vancouver
Island Model Engineers at Heritage Acres Home of the Saanich Historical
Artifacts Society, just outside of Victoria BC. (whee what a mouth
(finger??) full). They run 3 1/2, 4 3/4, 5 and 7 1/2 inch guages, many
intertwinned.

On the other side of the country is a little place in PEI up near the north
end of the Island, but I can not find my link to it any more. But I recall
them running 7 1/2" but that was (gulp) twenty years ago. ( I am not that
old am I ?).
