The Canadian Thread - Hi-Res images

Yep, MLW M630Ws and my custom bridge/abutment assets. I use the real BC Rail engineering department blueprints when I make the bridges/trackside objects for 100% accuracy.
 
CPR Smelter Jct and CSW Smelter Trail BC 1901

Hi

this is a 30 minute video of the CPR operations in Trail BC in 1901 with a focus on proto TT&TO Smelter Jct operations and the operations of the CSW smelter.



I thought I would share my latest train railfan video that I have been working on since Sept 2022. I will be presenting this video at the Railway Modelers of BC conference May 18th with a theme of ' What I learned modelling the prototype"


Even though this video is specifically of Trail BC 1901 CPR Smelter Jct and the Candian Smelting Works, my project this last 8 months has been to rebuild the entire Columbia and Western RR from Midway to Rossland using feedback from people on version 1 that I built 4 years ago. Based on feedback, version 1 was 80% incorrect on track layout, bridges, trestles, industries and operations, so it has been a full rebuild of the 130 miles of track with the addition of prototype Train Orders


I will create videos of West Robson and Eholt in the fall 2023 to show all of the changes to prototype operations.


Please feel free to share with other railfans and modellers

I was trying to post, but the screenshot tool won't work for me. Has anybody else been getting this problem?

Nice work by everyone!

Davemare, you have really done a great job on that route. I was wondering if you created the smelter buildings.

Westbound at mile 21.9
Cheers, Jack

Very nice work, ericmp.

I was a kid living in Balgonie back in the 1960s. Balgonie is the first town going east from Regina, Saskatchewan on CPR's mainline. I'm pretty sure there were four grain elevators then but they are all gone now. I know the one farthest to the east was a white Pool elevator as the agent lived across the street from our family. Hard to believe it was 60-65 years ago. How did I get here so fast?
Cheers, Jack

I travel mostly in the slow lane, Casey. That may be why I still have some hair on my head.

That's a great shot dman26.

Eastbound at mile 21 in this shot.
Cheers, Jack
