Craig Webb has been a pivotal
spoke in the Aberfoyle Junction
Model Railroad wheel since its
beginnings in the early 1970s.
He joined with Frank Dubery,
Chuck and Gwen Bard in 1975.
Craig retired from teaching
school after 35 years. One
of Craig’s most pleasant
memories is starting an after-
hours model railroad club for
the many interested students.
Craig was an early member of the O-Scale Hamilton (Ontario)
Society of Model Railroaders, having joined in 1956. Craig
received his NMRA, Master Model Railroader certification
number 254 in 1995.
Craig’s true love in railroading are passenger cars, both
prototype and models. Craig has scratchbuilt, complete
with full interiors and people, 80 passenger cars in both 36
inch and standard guage. His cars grace the St Jacobs and
Aberfoyle MR on trains representing both the CPR Dominion,
and the Canadian plus numerous CNR trains as well. When
not building passenger cars, Craig has proven his flexibility
by building 75% of the hundreds of scratchbuilt, illuminated
buildings on the layout.
Craig lives in Hamilton, Ontario where his own 36-inch gauge,
O scale model railroad occupies most of his basement.
