Rex Smith

 * I took two photos of a live steam engine sometime in the summer of 1965. I had just got my first 35mm camera, a Minolta. As I recall, the man lived on the road that goes off to the northeast of the main street in Port Rowan, somewhere along the bay, but not actually out of town. It could have been Front Road, I don’t remember too much about the layout or the models, but I had just wandered in off the street and Mr. Smith showed me around.

 * The gentleman that you are looking for did live on the Front Road. His name is Rex Smith. He had an outdoor live steam circular layout and 5 live steam locomotives. He called his railroad the Route of the Whistling Swan. Rex has been gone for some years now.
