For a model railroad fan, a memorable train trip wouldn't be complete without--yes--a model of the train. Prior to our trip, we had looked high and low in the United States for HO scale models of the specially-remodeled vintage 'Budd' cars used by VIA Rail for this special train.
We found the cars, plus dozens of other special models, at George's. It's easy to get to on the subway from downtown, and the people there are knowledgable, friendly, and ready to help with your selections. If you plan to be in Toronto, and you enjoy model railroading, add George's to your list of places to stop.
