Here is a picture of my grandfather, Norman Mottshaw. He built the train in Port Arthur Ontario. It was sold to The Museum Of Science and Technology in Ottawa after my grandfather passed away in 1969.

Pacific

Norman Mottshaw also built a Canadian Pacific 4-6-2. Oddly enough, there was a blue tint to it. I have the photograph somewhere. I am not sure if he was originally from British Columbia and then moved to Ontario. I think he was member of the Peteborough Society of Model Engineers.
