BUi Bramah's Ontario Orn WolyTmoWneseday, Àugust 14, l oo1-'f :3: Jack Brackenburg of Flesherton, south of Owen Sound, is 85 years old, but Fra sure he stili bas tbe beart of a 10year oldboy. Theoretically, be's "retired", but in the last five years be bas probably packed more hours into a pet project tban he ever did in a similar period of time during bis regular working life. It ail started five years ago wben one of bis daugbters asked bim wbat bed like for Christmnas. Jack said hed like a littie electric train. His daugbter got a train, along with a few cars, and gave him tbe set on Christnmas moming. Jack was very happy witb it and after watcbing it go round and round for awbile, bis creative and bis imagination went into action. He visualized the train running tbrough a village - places in it nained after memnbers of bis family. He went down to bis basement worksbop and built a model train station witb a littie sign on it signifying tbe naine of die village. The sign read "McGreggor, tbe middle. naine of bis great grandson. He built a cburch and a schoolbouse like tbe one where Jackc went to school in 1913. He added a golf course named after one of bis daugbters, and a playground for anotber daughters cbildren. He bougbt more track and tbe train began to ramble. Jack decided to build up another area on the railroad line. It became wbat be called "Canadians"., It bad a "Peggy's Cove" and a grain elevator. After tbat Jack threw in tbings willy-nilly, like a jungle with a serpent's lair, and a rocket wbicb doubles as a train whistle. Jack is also space minded, and his imagination ran wild on that one. Along witb a couple of flying saucers be put in a space garden. Oh yes, the train also run s by an Englisb castle and a soccer field. But bis piece de resistance is bis 11climbing train". Its 125 feet of track tbat rises 3/4 of an inch for every foot., As Jack's project spread out bis bungalow couldnt accommodate it, s0 be was invited to move it over to the South Grey Museum wbich is just across tbe road from bis place. People take pictures of it and marvel at the builders ingenuity. Wben 1 saw bim last, be was working on furtber additions, and altbougb bes 85 years of age, l'Il bet Jack is'still one of tbe busiest men in tbe village of Flesberton.
