The TRM’s Collection in HO scale - Part 4 of 4
Click on each image for a closer look!
TRHA No.1
The
TRM Workhorse TRHA No.1, a 50 ton Canadian Locomotive Company Whitcomb is
another tough model to build, in HO at least.
While there is a gorgeous G scale Whitcomb from Aristocraft available,
in HO, the closest available model I have ever found is the Bachmann 45ton GE
Switcher, mostly because it has side-rods in a compact package, just like our
Number 1. 
The model includes custom
printed decals to get the TRM Logo on the cab like the real one, along with
very time consuming individual letters to add “Toronto Railway Heritage
Centre”, the previous name of the Toronto
Railway Museum
before TRM was settled upon as our name!
Suffice to say, I’m in no rush to re-do all the individual letters!
Wrap-Up
As
can be seen in the last picture of TRHA No.1, I have been working on models of
our freight cars and other pieces of equipment.
Watch this space as more models of the TRM Collection will follow over
time as model building time permits.
Currently
the Models of the Simulator Cabs Delaware & Hudson 757 and Canadian
National 9159 are on Display outside the D&H 757 Simulator, and the models
of CNR4803 and CPR7020 are on display inside the Stall 17 Museum until at least
Thanksgiving 2012.
