Model Steam
A page for models of DAR steam locomotives. DAR's steam locomotives can be accurately represented by brass CPR classes or depicted with some accuracy by a variety of plastic locomotives, enhanced with some superdetailing and custom lettering for the DAR's unique company colours. Nothing says DAR like the "Land of Evangeline" herald on a coal tender.
Models of DAR Locomotive No. 32 Blomidon
The long-serving No. 32 with its classy brass nameplates and paint scheme has been a favourite for model builders
A model of No. 32 made in 1908 by Arthur Coldwell, on display at the library in the Wolfville Station.
Ric Hamilton's model of No. 32 at the Apple Capital Museum in Berwick.

Suggested Pages
We would like to see categories under model steam such as:
- Category: Model 4-4-0 Portland
- Category: Model 4-4-0 Baldwin
- Category: Model 4-6-0 Baldwin
- Category: Model 4-6-0 CPR Angus
- Category: Model 4-6-0 CPR MLW
- Category: Model 4-6-0 CPR CLC
- Category: Model 4-6-0 CPR Schenectady
- Category: Model 4-6-0 CPR Saxon
- Category: Model 4-6-0 CPR NBLC
One each page, we should have a gallery of the best examples of the build. We should also have a section or separated somehow a section for each Model Scale and inside that section should be the best models, tips, kitbashes, accessories etc for that scale.
This category currently contains no pages or media.
