At TRAINS 2011, the Vancouver TraiNgang N-trak layout took second place in the layout category of the popular vote contest! Well done folks!

In addition to that, member Bob Berbeck also took second place in the Module section of the contest. Now d'ya s'pose that was because of the fishermen, or the trains...? Hmmm, on second thought - don't answer that!

At the recent Mount Cheam Lions annual Model Train and Hobby Show, out in Chillwack, BC, the Salmon Arm Model Railroad Association won the People's Choice Award and the Best Club layout award for their beautiful HO layout - again!

This magnificent layout has a wealth of detail and must surely be one of the finest examples of the art in BC.

As a tribute the fine modellers of Salmon Arm, here are a few images of their work which demonstrate their care, skill and passion for the hobby.
