Zooming in on the Hanley Spur

An enjoyable part of this Hanley Spur journey has been sharing my research and modelling with fellow enthusiasts across Canada. Each presentation is a unique PowerPoint slide deck of 60-90 slides, tailored to the wants and interests of each group. Here's a list of the ZOOM remote presentations I've been invited to present:

• Associated Railroaders of Kingston - November, 2020 (bottom photo)

• Toronto Railway Supper Club - February, 2021

• Winnipeg Slide Night - April, 2021

• Canadian Association of Railway Modellers - January, 2023 (two dates)

• National Model Railroad Association, St Lawrence Division - March, 2023

• Railway Modellers Meet of British Columbia -  May, 2023 (below)

• Ottawa Valley Associated Railroaders - June, 2023 (belower)

The Virtual RMMBC Prologue clinic presenters are posted on RMMBC website. Here's my blurb, with the title being a take-off on Rock! Paper! Scissors! perhaps suggesting that my layout development was a game of chance, or better yet, a stroke of luck!

I'm pleased to report that 80 Zoomers took in the RMMBC presentation, leaving some good comments and posing several questions. Here is my favourite, from long-time BC heritage consultant, author and photographer Robert D. Turner:
