For Sale
St Lawrence Division Switching Module
December 20th Update: The Silent Auction for the SLD Module has drawn to a close and the module has found a new
home with one of our club members. Peter plans to integrate the module into his basement empire.
The SLD thanks all those who participated in the auction making this a very popular and exciting event!
Over 10 years ago, the SLD under took the building of a railroad module that was to satisfy a number of
objectives. First and foremost - to be the club's key advertising vehicle at train shows and other
railroading events.
It also served as a Display Table at our meetings along with a number of "how to" clinics
used it to demonstrate their material.
We even had a "loaner" program in place where a number of individuals operated the module in their homes
between shows and other commitments.
Over the years, we gradualy completed the scenery, expanded the rolling stock and improved the electronics.
The module now sports 13 structures and 10 pieces of rolling stock not to mention a river and numerous trees.
The module has been transported back and forth across Ontario and performed flawlessly at all the train
shows with never an issue! Many a railroad enthusiast (young and older) have taken hold of the throttle
and marshalled the trains back and forth to hours of enjoyment.
The Executive now wish to re-focus on how we promote our club and have determined the module does not
fit into the plans moving forward. So it must go.
As with most things, the whole is greater than the parts, so we would rather see the module move onto a
new life as a whole, instead of cannibalizing it for parts. Thus we're putting the module up for sale.
By all estimates, there is over $600 worth of parts and models in the package (sale includes the rolling stock)
so instead of assigning a price to it, we'll leave it up to you to determine it's worth.
Just make us an offer before December 15th, 2011.
The highest bid by thenwill win it!
If you are interested, please contact
Grant Knowles (613) 825 - 5438 with your offer.
Delivery can be provided in the greater Ottawa, Ont region.

|
|
|
| As part of the on going “Model Railroading 101” (MR101) program, the SLD has undertaken the challenge
to build the 2011 Railfair Raffle Layout. |
The 2010 Raffle Layout built by the SLD. |
The SLD built last year's Raffle Layout that was won by a very enthusiatic family who will not only cherish the
layout for years to come but are already adding their personal touch with scenicing the second half
of the layout. This year's layout will be in HO scale of similar size and will feature both industial
and country scenes. To learn more about this year's layout and follow us along with the build, just follow
