Jon,

I lived in Owen Sound from 1980-1993, and visited fairly frequently until my parents finally left the city about 5 years ago. Too bad we never crossed paths!

cheers,

Mike

Default Update

So we're now up to 16 CDNs, 16 CDN2s and 15 CDN3s, for a total of 47 trucks so far. I've also nailed down the current owners and locations of some I was unsure of.

Mike

Not really in a publishable format yet, but hopefully in the next couple of weeks....

If you're looking for parts try posting something in the "For Sale" section!

Jon, if the UN marked Jeep is the one I think it is one of my customers in Oshawa bought it in Owen Sound. It was a nice Jeep and needed only a little work. He has since moved up to your neighbourhood so the Jeep is back.
Cheers,
Barry

Well, how 'bout that! Yesterday was the 8th anniversary of our arrival here on the Derry Line. Did you ever see the guy in town with the CDN3 in UN colours?

Honestly, the only green (or white)-painted vehicles I ever saw belonged to the Grey & Simcoe Foresters. In fact, the Sherman sitting in front of the Armoury is what got me interested in this hobby in the first place. In fact, there used to be a Sherman in a park in Meaford, as well, which was accessable through its underside. Don't know what ever happened to it - it probably disappeared around 25 years ago.

Do you know the guy with the CDN3? Is he on this forum?

cheers,

Mike

Sherman in Meaford is in front of the Legion.

Only saw UN Jeep at a couple of cruise nights...don't know the guy and haven't seen the veh for about 4 years.

Sherman in front of Armouries is done up in bogus tac signs.

OK, I'll stop hijacking your thread!
