Original Toronto Star caption: So that's what makes it run!; Five-year-old Christopher Cameron examines a scaled-down replica of a coal-fired tractor at the 11th annual Toronto Model Railway Show at the International Centre in Mississauga yesterday. The old machine didn't run on rails; but could pull many times it sown weight. The two-day show; featuring operating layouts and sales booths; attracted thousands of model railroad enthusiasts.
