Written by Prior to this post, I mentioned that in order to make my S-Scale model of the Niagara, St. Catherine, and Toronto Railway accurate, I needed to activate the link between the signed scenes. I thought I’d send a series of letters outlining some of my design choices.
In the Port Dilosie Sub Division, I have been performing.
There was a tiny but crucial siding and junction on the prototype that connected the Geneva Avenue Terminal, the warehouse (which had a rise within the car warehouse), and Lewis. A thrill rider from this location continued on to serve McCainn (a division of Common Motors) on Ontario Avenue, while the main track continued along the same route for over 12 miles until reaching a junction where an Asper could access the welpheel, and then ended west of port Dalozi.
The three scenes that I have focused on for my format are the Mac Canon plant, the automobile warehouse, and the Woodoff siding.
Woodoff Siding
On the private row between Louisa Avenue and Ontario Avenue stood Woodruf, a temporary working monitor (P20). Here at Port Dlozie, Ontario Avenue also connected. Daloozi vehicles used it as a fulfillment and shipping point until 1950. Growing up in St. Catharines, I saw how the CNR workers would utilize the overall motors to pull this part of the cars, so I decided to include it into my own work.
Two Mac Canon (Spot P11) containers are seen on a freight engine in the photograph below, positioned at the right-hand corner. The tank vehicle is currently parked on what was once the port dlossom line; however, it will serve as an overflow storage area when I convert to Ontario Avenue. It may reach the P40 slot in the end.
Ontario Avenue
After I was rising up, the GM plant was on the highway from our home and I usually noticed the CNR swap workers engaged on it – so it was additionally on the format.
There have been extra locations within the NS&T days – after I confronted the road, the P11, P32, and P40 have been throughout – however I’m bringing them again to my sequence.
On the prototype, the P -11 plant stood as much as Ontario Avenue, however I needed to re -turn it in parallel to maintain it throughout the benchwork.
Equally, I couldn’t run P32 – Foundry monitor, Ontario Avenue standing. Subsequently, as an alternative of crossing the P40, it switchs again to P40. A minimum of the spirits go in the suitable route, in contrast to one another.
With only a quick run and numerous switching in MacConne, the workers must make a number of visits to Ontario Avenue up and down.

I’ve written on this website concerning the NS&T automotive warehouse fashions. On the prototype, it’s positioned on a short pleasure of the Port Delozi Sub Division together with the Welland Avenue. Attempt as I can, I can’t get it to slot in the suitable place. So I’ve moved it to my format, north of Carlton Avenue. I’m proud of this resolution.

I don’t have a spot to model Port Daloozi past Ontario Avenue, however I can imitate this visitors by placing this visitors on a monitor on the highway in entrance of the automotive warehouse. The session will enter the St. Catharines in the course of town to withdraw it from the highway, and return to Port Dulosi, close to the session.
I’ll proceed the tour sooner or later publish.
