MOOSE JAW — The eighth Model Engineering Show at the Sukanen Ship Museum went really well, said organizer Dean Redman.
Four displays of the intricate working steam models were at the show, with one from the United States.
One machine was a scale model of a steam tractor. With a few tweaks, it will operate. The tractor model was built by Albert Volman of Lestock.
A relative, Fred Volman, has a permanent display at Sukanen.
Also on hand was a display of crafts made by controlled computer technology using lasers. The display featured a railway station, water towers and lamp shades
“This is the direction modelling is taking,” said Redman.
The next museum event is the Outdoor Flea Market June 29 on the grounds.
Pretty well any stuff you are downsizing to garage sale items to collectibles and antiques are invited,
Spaces are large — the length of an RV.
For more information about the flea market call the museum at 306-693-7315. To book a table call Robby at 306-631-5972.
