What I wouldnt give for a glimpse of somebodys super-8 footage of a family
trip on the Coquihalla, or photos of same from something other than the same
darned angles!
I was born decades too late, in the wrong part of the country, to be able to
collect anything from that line/era. I accepted long ago the only things I
would see was what was publicly available in museums. With my model Im
presenting whatever I like as fact and if a collector out there wants to
correct me, so be it. Lets see how the purists react to my depiction of
Dr. Emmett Browns 4-4-0/time machine flying over a snow slide at Romeo. J
