Kipawa Interprovincial Railway - Bud Nelson's blog

A blog following the building of an model railroad in HO scale. The railway is set in the Laurentian Mountains of North-East of Ontario/ North-West Quebec. The place names are taken from those along the Canadian Pacific Railway Temiskaming subdivision that ran from Mattawa Ontario to Angeliers Quebec. The era is shortly after the conversion to diesel. Some steam can still be seen and Shay engines work the logging portions of the road.

The Canadian Arrives on the KIP

...and its here! Sure is nice to finally realize one of Dads dreams and run the Canadian around at least the couple of curves it could negotiate! Thanks Gord for coming over and helping figure out how to get this out of the box, that was a job, but I think it was worth it.

Of course there was more than just the Canadian that would have passed through the area! The ONR must just be taking delivery of the TEE Train that is destined to be painted into the Northlander. Now if I can only figure out how to get the decoder to stop announcing Dutch Station stops...
