panels over to the site. The wires in the conduits were con-
nected to the terminal strips on the skyboard and the panels.
When we were planning the move, we wondered about con-
verting from DC to DCC, but chose to stay with DC. One reason
was the cost. We had all the components on hand for the DC
system. To buy the new DCC equipment and set up 40 O scale
locomotives would be prohibitive. Also our style of operation
works well with DC. Once again, there is a control panel for
each of the tracks on the CNR double track line. There are two
more for the CPR. The fifth panel is Kelso terminal yard on the
CNR. The sixth panel, under construction, will be for the other
terminal yard of Wellington.

CPR Westport station. This structure was built from
plans for the CPR station at West Toronto, ON.
