SUMMARY:Online Lecture: A History of Toy Trains
DESCRIPTION:Join us! “A History of Toy Trains: An ‘O’ Gauge Perspective” on September 15 (7pm EST). \n  \nDiscover the beginnings and early history of toy trains made in Britain\, Europe and the United States\, and how manufacturers marketed trains for Canada. Presenters will delve into the evolution of toy trains\, from pull toys to simple clockwork mechanisms and beautifully decorated tinplate lithography\, to the well engineered mechanical marvels of the early 1900’s.  \n  \nThe appeal of mechanical electric toy trains exploded in the Post WWII era\, and the Golden Age of popularity was the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. After a generation of decline\, the toy trains of today are enjoying an unprecedented resurgence\, as manufacturers are now making modern remote-controlled electronic marvels\, with full sounds and effects recorded from real steam and diesel locomotives. The session will close with a look at the toy trains of today.     \n  \n  \nTICKETS AVAILABLE HERE \n  \nTickets for this event are free\, although registration is required. \n  \nAttendees will get access to our exclusive Zoom meeting room\, where they can engage directly with the presenter and museum historians in a post-lecture Q&A. The event will begin at 7pm Eastern Standard Time\, and will end at 8:30pm EST. \n  \nPRESENTER \nKyle Miller was born and raised in Halifax\, Nova Scotia. He graduated with a BSc from Dalhousie University in 1983. His Father was a lifelong railroader with CN and then VIA.

Kyle serves on the Board of Directors and volunteers at the Railway Museum of BC\, and can frequently be seen driving Track Speeders and Mini-Rail Trains.    \n  \nCO-PRESENTERS \nRobin Dodson\, CTTA\, TCA\, Historian\, Toy Train Expert \nCharles Reif\, CTTA\, TCA\, Author\, Historian\, Toy Train Expert \nFrank Schmidt\, CTTA\, TCA\, Author\, Historian\, Toy Train Expert \nJames Barrett\, CTTA\, TCA\, Author\, Historian\, Toy Train Expert \nMark Horne\, CTTA Previous President\, Author\, Toy Train Expert  \n  \nABOUT THE TORONTO RAILWAY MUSEUM (TRM) \nThe Toronto Railway Museum (TRM) brings people together by telling stories of Toronto’s railway heritage.

SUMMARY:Royal Train Tours of Canada in the Reign of Queen Elizabeth II
DESCRIPTION:Join us! “Royal Trains Tours of Canada in the Reign of Queen Elizabeth II” on May 19th at 7 pm EST. \nWe’re so excited to announce Royal Train Tours of Canada in the Reign of Queen Elizabeth II\, our upcoming online lecture! Author and royal historian Dr. Carolyn Harris will profile our country’s rich royal ties to traveling by rail with an overview of royal tours of Canada. \nJoin us on May 19 online for the next lecture in our 2022 series: Royal Trains Tours of Canada in the Reign of Queen Elizabeth II. Even with train travel no longer central to royal tours as air travel took centre stage\, railway history continued to be part of Canadian royal tours including at Expo 67 and the silver jubilee in 1977. \nOn May 19\, join the Toronto Railway Museum and Dr. Carolyn Harris for an online lecture about the Queen’s tours of Canada. Carolyn will talk about the Queen’s tours of Canada on railway.  \nIn 2022\, Queen Elizabeth II celebrates her Platinum Jubilee\, the 70th anniversary of her accession to the throne in 1952. The 1950s were a period of iconic royal train tours of Canada as Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip made their first official visit to Canada in 1951 and then Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip undertook their longest visit to Canada in 1959\, traveling to all the provinces and territories of the time. Royal tours were an opportunity for members of the royal family to connect with Canadians from all walks of life and engage with Canadian culture and institutions. Canadian royal tours were also an opportunity for Canadians to discuss and debate the future of the monarchy in Canada.  \nAlthough train travel across Canada was no longer central to royal tours of Canada after the 1950s as air travel took centre stage\, short royal train journeys and engagement with railway history continued to be part of Canadian royal tours as the Queen rode the monorail train at Expo 67\, and took a historic silver jubilee train journey from Ottawa to Wakefield\, Quebec in 1977. William and Catherine visited the White Pass steam train in Carcross\, Yukon during their most recent Canadian tour in 2016. \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER. \nTickets for this event are free\, although registration is required. \n  \nAttendees will get access to our exclusive Zoom meeting room\, where they can engage directly with the presenter and museum historians in a post-lecture Q&A. The event will begin at 7pm Eastern Standard Time\, and will end at 8:30pm EST. \n  \nABOUT CAROLYN HARRIS \nDr. Carolyn Harris is an instructor in history at the University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies.
