Family background
In 1979 the Pedersen family packed all their belongings including the trains and moved from Denmark to Spain, where they stayed for a couple of years. Poul had no sooner started to put up the train, when he had to take it all apart again since another move was on the go.
Of to Canada they went in 1981 and Osoyoos became their new hometown. Poul build his own house including 2000 sq.ft. of train room as usual. He worked on that layout for 17 years and then it was time for another move.
Now here we are today and they hope this is their last move. They build this warehouse in 2000 with another big room for the train, which was still just a hobby.
After a couple of years the family had a brainstorming session and decided to open up the display to the public for the first time.
It started out very small with about 500 sq.ft. of display. Each winter they worked in the evening and week-ends to make the display bigger.
