Early Canadian Geography

Upper Canada existed from 26 December 1791 to 10 February 1841 and generally comprised present-day Southern Ontario as illustrated on the above map. The prefix "upper" in its name reflects its geographic position higher up the river basin or closer to the headwaters of the St. Lawrence River than that of Lower Canada or present-day Quebec to the northeast.

The UC&A Visits the Ontario Narrow Gauge Show in Schomberg Ont. in the spring of 2007


Passenger train #12 crosses the French River on the Algonquin Short LIne RR now part of the Upper Canada & Algonquin. Here is a view of Lynn Caron's French River Crossing LINK style module as it appeared at the 2007 Narrow Guage Madness show in Schomberg ON. The bridge in the picture is a stand-in while the final structure is completed on the work bench. The module is 12 feet long and made in 3 sections for transportability.

Hi Mase,Welcome! I’ll have a go at trying to answer at least some of those questions...Conceptually, the UC&A is an amalgamation of several smaller shortlines, and represents a network rather than a single route. As the amalgamation was…

Route of the UC & A

Hi all,We can actually see our lawns down here in Northampton, MA! I have a few general questions, as I was not present when the route discussion took place. I understand that the UC & A is a fictional narrow gauge railroad, but I'm guessing that not only the location, but a proposed route was mapped out at some time. I downloaded the "Upper Canada" map from the website, but need further direction. Are we modeling anywhere along the Algonquin Short Line and the Upper Canada Railway? Are we…See More

Hey there Ian, I understand the process you are going through. I am hoping to pull off something very similar. I took a liking to the White Pass and Yukon RW DL535's which are related to the ALCO (MLW) RS road switcher locos. ( see the attached…

Hi Ian, The brick walls are painted with a Krylon #1317 Ruddy Brown Primer spray bomb. The green is Floquil Coach Green. The mortar mix, which is included with Schomberg kits, is a mix of Rottenstone powder and Baking Soda. This is rubbed into the…

I like the choice of paint colours on the round house. And the mortar lines are very realistic.
