The
wye at Stellarton. Currently I am working on the track on this peninsula
that represents the Oxford Sub, mostly the Michelin and Scott Paper
plant

The
Stellarton Yard. The foam and cork from this yard was saved from
my previous layout. Some of the storage tracks have been
extended. This yard is based on a classic John Armstrong yard.

The
mainline from Trenton to Havre Boucher. Many of the buildings are
being stored in a place that will eventually be a lake and a rail
bridge, with possible another industry

This
is Auld's Cove. The access hole in the back will be painted a
rocky colour and will represent the huge quarry at Auld's Cove that
re-opened in 1978 and was run by the Chisholm family. The quarry
was originally used to fill in the Canso Causeway.
|
This
will be the town of Mulgrave. It was originally a busy railway
town where cars were loaded on ferry's to Cape Breton. When the
Canso Causeway opened, Mulgrave really suffered. There was still a
spur going into Mulgrave in 1978 and a couple of interesting
industries.
|
Another
view of the access hole. It's easy to see how it will look like a
quarry when painted.

The
upper deck going behind New Glasgow and Stellarton. The hole in
the curved section at the back is for the Thorburn Spur.
