Welcome to Bob Farquhar's  CPAC Central

This scenery and structures-oriented layout features many marvelous structures set into realistic scenery that provides a backdrop for the rail action on a folded dog bone plan.
Bob has built many wonderful structures, some of which have been displayed at previous NFR conventions and has collected a number of ribbons and accolades from his peers. Set in his scenery they are even more interesting; they come to life and provide a rich environment for the trains.
Operational interest on the layout is provided through interchange including a recently completed ferry, and many destinations on the layout.
Phase I of IV is now over 85% complete, Bob has started the benchwork for phase II.  There are 4 background sound systems, digital sound on most locomotives, working lighthouse light, track signals and 2 arc welding circuits to entertain operators and visitors alike.  Can you tell that Bob likes his toys?

Update, November 2002: All good things must end sometime -- Bob has moved house, and his CPAC Central is dismantled.  However, pieces of it will live on in other Ottawa layouts, and we look forward to seeing what he builds in his new basement in Kingston!
