Phase one of the ýyoject, tbe layi o f 300 feet of track, wii bé finisbed in No 1 mber. Once the track workhas been compi d the landscaping of the villey will begin. Landscaping shoul bring a whole ne' look ta the fiat, barren valey. Arcbitects pla s in- lude a mountain, WLo large train y aa lumber company aniew bausing. -Actuaiiy, Saper Vliey isn't really going ..o be the location of a n4v raiiway uine. 1 But members of l*e Saper Valley ModeI Railroad Club are iconstructing a mod el rairoad in a baseltýnt room in the VisnJal Arts Centre. MAges The Saper Valley tiodel railroade rs ,:ire a small group of nmdel train enfAiusiasts ranging from age 6 W~5. Sbaring the bas«ient faS-i1i.Ïies in the Visual Arts Centre wj,~Jrmc classes, the Saper Valley Model Rkajroaders bave enough space ta construct a model railway that, will one day run the entire lengtb of tbe building. Organized by Howard Bickeil, tbe club got its start last January. Club dues pay for any materials club memrbers require in the con- struction of the madel. What is it about model railroading that keeps a grown man interested in a child's toy long after the chiid is no langer interested? Weli, for one thing mnodel railroads are not toys. Altbough any child could apera4e one it takes a special per-sonito buiid one.1 si-pen- try, artistry and somie knowledge of ellec- ticity are a must if an individuai or a club wants ta construct a miodel wortby of com- petitian. Comipetitions Possible Model raiiroading is a grawing and organized hobby. Competitions througbout North America draw bundreds of entrants and model railroaders even have their own magazine called 'The Model Railr-oa-der'. "I1t's really the ideai hobby," says one memnber wbase six -year-old son may become the ciub's yaungest rajîroader. Model railroadfing may indeed be the ideal bobby because it requires such a vaniety of skills ranging fromn the most simplîstie (such as painting scenery) ta the complicated job of wining tbe model for electnicity. Indeed, tbere's a lot more ta mode] railraading than watcbing an electric train travel around a figure eight track. The abject of model railroading is ta build a scaled miniatunizatian of an actual. railroad aperation. Everytbing from tbe lettening on the boxcars ta the placement of towns and in- dustries is scaled ta the size of an actual railroad operation. Tbe trains that will be used on the club's track are one-eigbty-seventb of the actual size of a modern locomoti ve. Designq Model railroading began nat as a hobby, but as an economical way for a train designer ta prove bis designs. MVattias Baldwin, founder of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, becamne tbe first model railroader in 1830 when lie built a small steamn locomotive capable of hauling six to eigbt passengers around(-la cdm- cie of track laid on thec floor of is plant. Atlhough'it took 70 years for tay ianufac- turers ta catch on ta tbe potentiai of model railroading, the popularity of the train sets bas neyer stopped growing. The first toy trains appeared at tbe turn-of- tbe-centtury and were spring-driven, locomotives stamped out of sheet etl.As youo can imnaginie these earcly sets were crude compared ta taday's detai]ed miniatures. Popuiar in IIIMÙ%ï - By the 1930js the populanity of mandel rafilroading gained as, toy m-an-ufactu-rerýs imv- Pro-,ved the quality and scaled detaiýl of the train-s. It was at this tim-e cIub mnember Ernie Bieber baught is first model train set. Raised in the railroad taw,ýn of Ricbmoind, Quebec, Errnie b as alwvays been fascinated by the roar of the locomotive. During bis youtb be worked as a clerk for the, Grand Trunk Railroad. Club members Larry O'Conner and Doug Hately examine a fellow-member's new engine. kErnie Bieber is always adding to his collection of trains, but just as imnportant to ù.i-midel are the buIldings thtsroîdb-~rcs Today, in his six-room apartment on King Street We-st, Ernie bas set aside a roomn for model raiLrýoading. Stepping into this roomn is like going back ta the days of the steam locomot1ive. Sketches and photographs of the aid iran hanses decorate bis wails and througbout the apartment one finds remin- ders of bis lifetimne hobby everywbere. The model railroad set up in tbe room bas been an on-gffing praject since 1968. Each year be adds tao bis collection buying more engines or cars or making small im- pravements here and there. The higbligbt of Ernie's model is not only his trains, but also a miniature replica of downtown Bowmanviile. After constructing a balsa wood miodel of some of the storefronts along King Street Ernie photographed the fronts of the buildings and printed the photos ta fit the balsa woad model. 11 Not content ta sit and watcb bis. trains travel aiang a track, Ernie began construc- ting a mode] that wben finished wiil feature a train yard, a small town and a resort area complete witb miniature swimming pool and tennis courts. Before long, Erniewili have built himseif a miniature empire. With thfe skill of a watchmaker Ernie lias re-buit the inside of this passenger car. T'his N gage car is 1/116 the size of an actual passenger car. It-features sleeping cornpartmnents, a bath, lounge area and kitchen.
