Hi,
Hey thanks for the response. I originally was looking at modeling
the line between Rosebery and Nakusp with a possible extension to
Sandon but I found that there just wasn't enough traffic to
justify it.
Instead I am now focusing on the line between Nelson and Castlegar.
This allows me to still include the barge operation (Slocan City)
while still getting a lot of traffic. I have track diagrams for
all of the locations but I know I won't be able to even think
about modeling Nelson to scale. The advantage of the N and S is
the fact that it is so small it could be modeled to scale. Of
course besides the track plans I haven't been able to get much
detail on any of these places so it is looking like it will be
very hard to be accurate with my new plan.
You could contact the BC Archives. They've got all sorts of stuff
