Thanks for the salutations for our annual premier flag-waving day !!
I just rolled back in from some mid-day CANADA DAY celebrations on the east side. There was to be a shuttle from a large transit pkg lot to the location but i was about 45 min. too early and did not see any signage (and they had not posted any info on their webpage) so opted on using a (aging) transit pass to catch the LRT to the last station on the line which is only a 10min. walk to the venue (same venue as our SUPERTRAIN show). Although this event activities was all outdoors
The rain that they kept forecasting this past wk never really showed but today when we don’t want it ---- mother earth is pushing some storm cells into us as i type this.
".…I see your dismay, TH is a Canadian Co. "
News Flash ---- TH is no longer a canadian co. !! But the corp. suits/skirts play it up to the unenlightened masses as if it still was (or at least do not say no we are not)!
Similiar to what bestbuy did when they acquired futureshop (former cdn electronics+ co.) but bbuy made a mistake when they closed down the fs locations leaving the bb lackluster storefronts.
Hope you all are having a safe, dry, electrically-charged-free, but fun July 1st !!

p.s. as i said on my mailinglist and later posted on the B’mann site, http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/board/index.php/topic,33467.msg247741.html#msg247741 , Bachmann missed out big time ---- (not) creating a 2017 rollout CANADA flagged/150 symbol mkd egg-liner … they could ah really played it up, having a limited edition number of 150. Probably sold out, if the retailers did not jack the asking $ ! And then reissue a couple yrs later, as a regular Canadian Flag unit IMHOcourse
