RDC part III was of interest with the live recount of events. Saw plenty of interest in Saskatoon and PA with a Meet up with Robert Gallagher and Carlton Trail and train show in PA with Warren Swaney of Tisdale showing his NScale talents. PA Highlight was a 1950s Western Flyer highway coach in STC colors with Sask Transit GMC fishbowl in olive drab with another 50s Flyer coach in green and white livery.
