Shameless Self Promotion

Cooking with Meegs You like food? So do i, and more importantly, so does my wife, read about her adventures in cooking and baking!
Model Railroad Pictures on Flickr Pictures of my own layouts and projects, along with pictures from shows and of friends layouts.
Random Pieces of Tape My first attempt at a written blog (i.e. not a photoblog), I managed to last five posts in 2007 on whatever I was thinking at the time (scary thought). Though, not all my thoughts were hopeless at least when i revisit them now..
Shapeways Store My Shapeways store, where 3D printed model railroad parts from my designs are available for sale. Like the header says, Shameless Self Promotion!

Train Shows

Barrie-Allandale Train Show The Barrie-Allandale Train Show is one of the larger shows in proximity to Toronto, with a good mix of operating layouts and vendors. I am normally in attendance with the Toronto Railway Museum displaying models of the museum.
Great British Train Show The Great British Train Show, held every other year (next in 2020) in Brampton. Two days of all the best of British Model Railways at a show in Canada.
Greater Toronto Train Show Another large show in close proximity to Toronto. The Greater Toronto Train Show has a great mix of vendors, layouts and manufacturers along with clinics on modelling and prototype topics.
Lakeshore Model Railroaders Flea Market A show where all manner of things can be found. From traditional stores with booths, to individuals with a table clearing out their collection. An ecclectic mix of items can always be found.
Ontario Narrow Gauge Show The Ontario Narrow Gauge Show, a show dedicated to just “Narrow Gauge” trains. I’ll be attending for the first time in 2017 as a visitor, it sounds like an interesting show that i’ve never made it to.
Toronto Railway Prototype Modellers Meet Not a traditional “Train Show”, but a gathering of modellers who are interested in prototype modelling, getting together to discuss and show off their models.
