New Project - Espanola Paper Mill, Ontario, Canada

After the birth of my second son I felt that I wanted to come back to the hobby that was suspended. Not with that much power compared to the time before the kids, but small projects that are possible to finish.

So after some research of other nice places on the QGRY network other than the QCY Henry IV yard in Quebec, the Kruger Paper Mill in TR and the VT warehouse I found nice videos of QGRY engines that are in service on the Huron Central. This railroad operating in Ontario frequently uses QGRY engines.

Along the line is the DOMTAR Paper Mill in Espanola Ontario.


After some research I write mails with guys who worked on the HCRY and also operated the switching jobs in the papaer mill.

The modules were built with 12mm multiplex headplates and 8mm sides. The Module features an 15° angle. Track is soley Atlas Code 55 with #10 switches in the main line, #7 for spurs and #5 for the sharp spots into the buildings.


The track plan was designed in Anyrail and then printed and cut out.

The main line is in the middle. The western track are switching spurs, while the right tracks are siding and log track,



Tracks are glued and soldered to the module.
