Railfanning on the BC/Alberta Border - Scanner Chatter included!

[@politicsandtrains]

My aunt used to live in Sparwood and I visited the Crows Nest Pass as a kid back in the 70's.

[@SouthernAlbertaRail]

Cool. It's a fantastic area that is somewhat forgotten as far as rail fanning or modelling goes.

[@bernicemeade3232]

Just need some signal lights now the layout is Great

[@SouthernAlbertaRail]

Thanks! The Crowsnest Sub is all dark territory, no signals. One of the things I like about it. Lots of radio chatter! Cheers. -grant

🇧🇷👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🚂 Um dos melhores layouts em escala N! Grande inspiração!

[@SouthernAlbertaRail]

Muito apreço, obrigado.

[@sergelebel3135]

Always amazed at seeing such long, realistic trains. Fantastic job as always!

[@SouthernAlbertaRail]

Thanks Serge. Really appreciate the input.

[@peteedwards7157]

Thanks Grant that’s the highlight of my weekend 👍

[@SouthernAlbertaRail]

Glad you enjoyed it Pete!

[@markbridgwater]

Fun stuff, Grant! I agree that there comes a point where one gets tired of the mess and runs some trains. Almost more enjoyable given the long downtime. And I have yet to find anyone with N-scale equipment that runs as well as yours. Cheers!

[@SouthernAlbertaRail]

Thanks Mark! Couldn't agree more. The more downtime the sweeter the reward seeing stuff rolling. Of course that just feeds the creative impulse leading to more mess....

[@jhoodfysh]

Thank you for the great rail fanning.

[@SouthernAlbertaRail]

Hello! I thought I saw some SAR locomotives at the Madison Wi, train show in February, were they yours?

[@SouthernAlbertaRail]

You certainly did. They were gifts for my friends at Modutrak.

[@joncalon7508]

Great video as always Grant. Y'know, if you ever want an additional voice for your radio chatter, give me a call. I'm sure the SAR has more than three people on staff. ;-D

[@SouthernAlbertaRail]

Was thinking about that Jon. You aren't as easy to bribe!!

[@joncalon7508]

@@SouthernAlbertaRail Au contraire, mon ami. I don’t need to be bribed at all…

[@davebnsfnscale4433]

[@DarkTerritory71]

It's always great to see family spending time together like this.

[@SouthernAlbertaRail]

A little bribery goes a long way Mark! They're both pretty good sports about yapping on the radio. Cheers. -grant

[@custom-nscale4331]
