WINNIPEG -- It could ‘All aboard!’ no more for the Assiniboine Valley Railway as it has been given six months’ notice to vacate the property it calls home. Situated on Roblin Boulevard, just west of Assiniboine Park, the 1:8 scale ride-on railway has been putting a smile on people’s faces since the mid-90s. It was the creation of a man called Bill Taylor, who took his love of model trains a little further than most. “Bill wanted to create a railroad that was around the time of the last of the steam locomotives, and the earliest of the diesel locomotives in Canada, which is what he did,” said Leonard la Rue, president of the Assiniboine Valley Railway (AVR) and the last of the founding club members.
