 " Model Railroading is Fun ! "

Welcome to our family HO scale model railway web site.  Although in recent years, it has not been listed in the CN timetables as a "junction".  In reality CN Clifton, is the junction between the Grimsby and Stamford subdivisions here in southern Ontario. Both subdivisions provide CN (also AMTK, CP & NS) with access to markets south of the USA border, via bridges crossing the Niagara river at Niagara Falls and Fort Erie. 

  In the world of  HO scale Clifton Junction Railway Co. (Great Lakes Region) is the name and focal point of  a small model railway set in the 1980's.  The CJR  is a "railway maintenance contractor", providing the services listed below to CN for both Grimsby & Stamford Subs. A large maintenance center is located inside the wye at "CN Clifton" with access to both subs. Much to the chagrin of the CJR superintendent, our passion for MOW equipment has resulted in an ever increasing maintenance budget. Our MOW trucks actually outnumber the rolling stock and locomotives on the layout.

    Note: The CJR being a firm supporter of "Recycling Programs" deems that all businesses operating on the layout must employ at least one "vintage vehicle" in their daily operations.

   Note: The Clifton Junction Railway Company is not a "shortline operator", CN handles all the switching operations on these subdivisions. Also the CJR offers the similar services to a number of shortline operators as well.

Time has marched on, and our father and son layout has evolved into two layouts.  
  Although geographically separated by 240 KMS  (to the "North"), they share the common theme of MOW operations.
The first bench work was started in December 2007 on the South Parry Railway Co. (Northern Ontario District)

At times, "home of the great unfinished project" might be a more appropriate name for the layout.

  Hence our web page will be, a continually evolving "work in progress" .  Please enjoy !
