September ’25 pinup

The National Model Railroad Association has published its 2025 Calendar for members and if you receive one, you’ll be staring at my S scale Niagara St. Catharines & Toronto Railway hanging on your wall all September:

Thanks to Stephen Lee for the heads up, and for permission to use his photo.

I was surprised and delighted to learn my photo had been chosen. I sent away my submission months ago and promptly forgot about it until this morning, when my friend Stephen Lee* sent me the above snap of his copy. (Thanks Stephen!)

There’s a postal strike happening in Canada right now, so my copy is probably in the mail somewhere. I look forward to seeing the other entries once it arrives.


(*If you haven’t visited Stephen’s two websites – Sprue Pie With Frets and Further Up Dunes Junction – you really should. He’s an excellent artist in both scale modelling and railway modelling, and extremely thoughtful about both hobbies.)
