Hi Thorin, That actually sounds kind of neat. I have my Star Trek ships that I can hang up and pretend that they did a 'time warp' back to the 1950's like they did in one of original series episodes. I am not sure what they would be doing over Owen Sound but I think that it might be cool to simulate someone beaming down to the station to catch the mixed train to Wiarton just because perhaps Bones McCoy was a 'railfan' and wanted to ride on the Wiarton sub before it was abandonned in 1960. The train could actually stop at Chesley to let him off to do a little trout fishing in the creek there. Now, just how to simulate the beam down and beam up??? cheers, Andy Malette To REPLY to the list, use REPLY ALL; to reply to the sender, use REPLY.
