Winter National? How about Winter International? Richard McQuade, a professional archivist and Canadian railway historian from the Toronto area, enjoys translating pho- tos from the past into HO scale models like this Grand Trunk Ry. class H3 4-4-0, a modi- fied Bachmann Spectrum engine. The prototype was built in 1893 by Cooke Locomotive & Machine Co. in Paterson, N.J., and scrapped in 1923. The Grand Trunk, one of Canada’s oldest railways, was folded into the newly-created Canadian National in 1919 when the government stepped in to undo a financial melt down in the railway industry. The mod- el’s changes include relocating the domes, installing the new horizontal pilot by Minia- tures by Eric, modifying the headlight, making the cab windows into movable three-pane sashes, class lamps, piping and tender tool box and absolutely crisp paint and lettering.

Among the presentations at Cocoa Beach were those by Jim Murrie and Professor Nao- mi J. Petersen, both of Washington, on U.S. Army Mortuary Trains between 1947 and 1951. The bodies of over 170,000 soldiers were returned to the United States during that period, making the first stage of the journey in specially-equipped ships, then continuing on in rebuilt Army hospital cars to either military or hometown cemeteries. Honor guards were provided all the way. Jim brought this pair of HO models along. The model of No. 8901 (above) started as a Walthers 28-1 parlor car; the windows were blanked out, a sal- vaged baggage door inserted on each side, and details added. Car 8943 uses a Branch- line 6-3 sleeper carbody, Walthers baggage car side parts, and added details. The interior shows the racks for the caskets. Modelers at RPM’s usually bring a photo of the proto- type car and a card or sheet with information about it. Jim’s display was quite thorough.
