My Visit to Dr. Noyek

On Monday we went to Dr. Noyek's house. Dr. Noyek is a doctor and he has won lots of awards, including the Order of Canada. Dr. Noyek has lots of model trains. First we went to the N track upstairs. He had tiny winy, winy people.
Picture
And he told me that some train horns that Canadian trains use are called "Nathan horns". They sound like this:
I think I've been named the right name!
Then we went to another track called the Z track. It was much smaller. And the people were even tinier. I think it was even tinier than an inch. Then we went downstairs and we saw the bigger trains.
Picture
We had to duck to get in and out of the room to see the trains. They were cool. We started with a VIA train. That was very, very realistic. All of Dr. Noyek's trains were very realistic. Then we switched to a CP freight train. We put lots of different cars on the tracks. We put on gravel cars and box cars and freight cars.
Picture
Dr. Noyek let me drive the trains. And he said I improved my honking really well. Two long, one short and another long at each crossing.
Thank you for the visit Dr. Noyek. I hope to come back again.

My Trip to The Cottage

On the long weekend I went to the cottage. Well, I'm not here to speak about the cottage. Oh no, no, no. I'm here to speak about trains. On the drive to the cottage we saw one CP train, then when we got there we saw one each day. Two on Saturday, including the one on the way up to the cottage. Here's a photo of the one at Wilkinson crossing near the cottage:

We saw one train on Sunday and one on Monday. We had good luck up at the cottage because it was a weekend and we saw four trains. I didn't expect very many trains on Sunday, but we saw one. And I didn't expect to see a train on Monday but we saw one. On Monday, while we were playing baseball we heard a loud train and we drove really fast from the baseball diamond to see the train. We heard it from really far away. It was very loud and it honked a special honk for me. Here's a picture of it:

Thanks to all the CP drivers who honked and waved at me. I just loved that trip to the cottage. It was a great trip and I will go back soon to watch for more trains.
