April 2023 This and That!

Its official and the signs are up. 
Here we have a mix of photos that I thought I would share with you. I attended the Ontario Narrow Gauge Show held in Hamilton. It was the first time in 4 years the show has been held. More on this topic on my narrow gauge blog...enjoy...George Dutka

Bruce Douglas passed along this colour view of the interior of the Stratford shop. Not many colour views are out there of the interior.

Kevin Smith sent me this view of the chair factory. The view appears to be a postcard and similar to the one seen a couple of weeks ago on Wordless Wednesday. Kevin believes that this is the L G Fullam Chair Co. factory circa 1903. The company was founded in 1889 and  is noted for their hand made rocking chairs.
At the Ontario Narrow Gauge Show Mt. Albert Scale Lumber had a nice selection of lumber for sale. The bundles are off cuts that are priced right. Some laser cut O scale tools and hinges sold well too. The tools were gone before the show began.

Schomburg Scale Models has its bits and pieces for O scale and larger structures. Most of this was gone before the show was over.

 B&M 0252 is a sawdust service car which is a MOW boxcar. Note the Fox trucks. Photo from the Tim O' Conner collection.

  1. Those large black-handled files look identical to the ones I bought at Harbor Freight for about a dollar each on sale.

  2. Not sure but I think they are the Fast Track files for track laying as this was their joint booth. Have to check their web site...George
