Aberfoyle Junction - 2
I
n 1972 Frank Dubery, then a member of the Model
Railroad Club of Toronto, had a dream of building an O
scale display railroad to introduce people to the hobby. At
the time he knew the original owners of the Aberfoyle, ON,
Antique Market, and they offered him a room on the second
floor of a small barn roughly 32 feet by 32 feet. With the sup-
port of his wife, Gay, Frank began making the room look pre-
sentable, lining the walls
with sheets of wallboard, and
began to build his railway.
An O scale layout surviving two moves ...
1. St Jacobs is in the heart of Old Order Mennonite
country in Canada, The building is a model of a
meeting house located near our new home. The
Mikado is a Sunset Model of a light USRA engine that
Frank Dubery re-detailed to match the CNR #3737.
2. CP #1201, another of Chuck’s creations, drifts past
Caledon Jct. depot. Craig built the station and section
houses from plans provided in the registration package
at the 1979 NMRA national convention in Calgary, AB.
