Temiscouata: A Track Plan

While waiting to get 4-4-0 shells from Bachmann, I designed a new version of the Temiscouata layout after getting some new and inspiring information from fellow modeller Trevor Marshall.<br />
<br />
The new plan reuse the Connors terminal as it was discussed a few months ago. I think it can hardly be better than that. On the other side of the room, I dared to add the next stop on the line which was a single end siding called Little River Mills. A nice flag stop station lied there and lumber was shipped all over North America from this remote location. I also added the low but long trestle that existed on the river by the station. Wood trestles were a staple on Temiscouata and many still remains to this day supporting a very scenic bike path.<br />

You can find more detail about the discussion <a href="https://hedley-junction.blogspot.ca/2016/07/thinking-out-loud-part-2.html">here</a> and some interesting comments made by Simon Dunkley. We discussed the possibility to represent Connors at its peak circa 1910 which wouldn't be harder to do than a 1940s layout.<br />
