The Hudson Bay Railway in HO Scale

I posted on my other blog about a derailment that happened while I was working in Flin Flon.  I was fortunate to be there during the clean up and got quite a few photos of the action.  Lots of modelling potential.  The post is here:  https://ageologistchasingtrains.blogspot.com/2023/05/flin-flon-derailment-on-hudson-bay.html When the long awaited rebuilt M420 arrives from Rapido Trains I will be custom painting HBR 3548, the lone M420 painted into the Hudson Bay Railway scheme.  

I'll do a bit of cross posting here.  I had an article about building a layout for the Quebec Iron and Titanium Railway in eastern Quebec published in the Model Railroad Hobbyist online magazine.  It has both prototype and modelling related stuff so is a bit of a cross over between my modelling and prototype blogs.  You can find the article link on my other blog here:   https://ageologistchasingtrains.blogspot.com/2022/05/quebec-iron-and-titanium-havre-st.html Alternatively you can go straight to the MRH article here:  https://forum.mrhmag.com/post/quebec-iron-titanium-railway-12353820?pid=1332635156 If anyone actually builds a layout based on the QIT I would be very interested to see their results.

Along with my blogs on the Hudson Bay Railway (this one) and another on my real life railfan adventures < here > I have another blog that I originally started on the Model Railroad Hobbyist site about 8 years ago.   That MRH  blog was my gateway to these more recent blogs and I still post there regularly, although now I tend to post a shorter version of what I post here with a link back here to continue reading.  Since I am inherently lazy I figure the easy way for future readers to read my older MRH posts is to put a link here to a list of the MRH posts.   Some I have redone here, others have not been transferred over as I outlined above.  If you feel like reading more of my nattering feel free to pop over to MRH: https://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/42428#new     If the above link doesn't work, try this one: https://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/blog/33822?page=11

I have been scanning a lot of slides lately and have realized I have a LOT of railway photos from around the world.  Instead of cross pollinating this Blog that is supposed to cover building the HO scale Hudson Bay Railway I think it would be better to have a separate blog covering unrelated topics like international railways.   To that end I have started a separate Blog:   https://ageologistchasingtrains.blogspot.com/ .
