We're thrilled to announce that our Controller was presented the 2024 OVAR (Ottawa Valley Associated Railroaders) McEwen Award. This annual award is given to individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to the hobby of model railroading.

A huge thank you to the OVAR Selection Committee and to those who nominated The Controller.

It has been our family's honour and absolute pleasure to share our love of Thomas and the hobby of model railroading since the late 1980s (the original incarnation of Thomas' Branch being a Hornby OO layout). We thank everyone who has come to see us at each show we've attended, and look forward to seeing you soon.
