			: In a hiss of steam, its whistle screaming, the little model train engine with it s12 young passengers went chugging and clicking down the long miniature track in the National Museum of Science and Technology.

			: Operated every Christmas season by members of the Bytown Railway Society, the tiny engine, about nine inches high, was built by Watchmaker [[Norman Mottshaw]] of Thunder Bay between 1946 and 1948.

			: Mr. Mottshaw, who shaped each part by hand, made the engine a working model of the 1927 New York Central Hudson, said Arthur Sharman, a former CP Rail fireman, whose hand was on the throttle Saturday.

			: Duncan H. duFresne, another former CP fireman in the railway society, was chalking the track to keep it clean. He recalled that Mr. Mottshaw's widow had first seen the train in operation when she visited the museum tow years ago.

			: She had stood for a time, her face lighting up with a smile, he remembered, as she watched the sturdy engine pull its freight of cheerful noisy children.

			: Mr. duFresne had told her the technicians found the engine th easiest to operate of any in the museum, and that it received loving care from Jack Hewitson, a builder of 40 model steam engines. One of Mr. Hewitson's model locomotives was back-up engine in the show.
