Rmj 200207.Pdf Official Sponsor PRECISION RAILROAD MODELS UNITRACK ... where Quality and Variety meet User-friendly Convenience and Realistic Appearance! Figure 82 It could be said that this N scale layout, built entirely with KATO UN/TRACK, is a "figure 8 to the power of two" - two distinct train operations, that is! It is actually two separate layouts, both within a 4' x 8' area. With a shared yard, spur tracks and passing siding, these two routes provide plenty of activity within a small space.The figure 8 in the center of the layout is an ideal route for one or two of our recent ROC models. Use some of our new Residential Structures, with a couple of Industrial Buildings and Mama's Restaurant, at the junction to create an active downtown area. If the right end of the figure 8 tunnels under a mountain, as illustrated, it will create the illusion of distance before your railcar returns to town. On the outside of the layout is a nice route for the operation of one of our new Mikado steam locomotives or a small branchline switcher locomotive, such as our RS-2 unit. The turnouts at the lower left and top right give you good opportunities to pick up and drop off a car or two while making the daily rounds. The passing siding also gives you room to park your slow-moving freight operation while a short string of passenger cars powered by an ES/9 passes by. Our Wooden Railroad Structure sets would be a great choice for highlighting the shared yard in the lower right corner of the layout. Position a Signal Tower at a few of the critical turnouts and the Rural Freight Platform at the end of the spur tracks and you have a beehive of activity on your small town pike! For more detail about this track plan (and others!) that can be built quickly and easily with UN/TRACK, visit our web site at www.katousa.com. You'll also find information there about the highlighted models and structures mentioned above.

M5W 1A2. Editor: Stuart I. Westland, 78 Edenbridge Dr., Islington, Ontario, Canada M9A 3G2 Telephone (416) 239-5254 Assistant Editor: John D. Thompson (416) 759-1803 Activities Editor: Ed Campbell 251-8356 Please address all correspondence relative to the Newsletter to the Editor at the above address. The Newsletter is mailed monthly to members of the Society in good standing. Membership fee is .$17 for January 1981 to December 1981 inclusive. COVER- A pair of TTC H5 subway cars were appropriately decorated for the official opening of the Bloor-Danforth Subway extensions, on Friday, Nov. 21, 1980. —TTC photos by Ted Wickson QUOTE OF THE MONTH- (Extracts from an editorial in the Toronto Star of November 5, chosen by the Newsletter particularly to mark the completion of the Kennedy and Kipling extensions): "In the past two years the politicians... have ducked the hard decision about investing in the TTC as a force that could determine the future development of Metro—the fastest, — most convenient form of public transit is the kind that runs on fixed rail such as the subway or LRT—Even in the fitful economy of the '80's, a new transit line can have a stimulating effect. Metro needs more of them. The next obvious one is an east-west line along Eglinton, Sheppard or Finch Avenues—If politicians show a bit of nerve and build fixed rail transit into thinly populated areas, experience has shown these soon become thickly populated areas.
