Murray Brown makes a 3D model of Colfax Saskatchewan station

Murray Brown submitted this well detailed model of a CNR station in Colfax, Saskatchewan at the WMRC's monthly model display at the club's January 2026 meeting.

Colfax, Saskatchewan was a station on the Lewvan Subdivision, running between Regina and Lampman. Located approximately 40 km north of Weyburn, the village was founded in 1911 with the arrival of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, later to become Canadian National Railways. Settled by American immigrants from Iowa, the community was named by B.A. Brown, after Colfax, Iowa. At one time there were three grain elevators: Sask Pool, Searle, and Federal. The Lewvan Subdivision no longer exists but is remembered by Lewvan Street on the south side of Regina.

This model is completely 3D printed, with 52 pieces painted with Vallejo acrylic paints and AK Concrete acrylic diorama terrain. All assembly was with Liquitex Matte Medium. Decals were printed on inkjet waterslide decal paper. A final coating of Mr. Super Smooth Clear Matte finishing spray was applied.


You’ll see this model station in April 2026 at the WMRC Spring Show, as part of an entry for the Special Event!
