Model Railroading > BC Rail Extra 754 South September 1989

Our photographer has climbed a tree to capture BC Rail Extra 754 South pass over the junction switch for the Tumbler Ridge Sub at Wakely BC, September 15 1989. In reality this scene is on my HO scale BC Rail North End layout, representing the line from Prince George to Chetwynd BC, with the Dawson Creek Sub thrown in for good measure.

Fantastic!!!

Great pic! Love that grungy two-tone scheme. Makes me want to start attacking my Atlas C420 and 424...

Mr. MRL

Great weathering on the units.

Looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

Trevor,
while i like what you're doing, you do lose points for using the term "BCRAIL".  

Who knows what that could lead to next? Red, white and blue?

Rick

I didn't know you were a goober also.

Sorry Rick, but my layout is set in 1989, which at that point the railway had been re branded to BC Rail. Setting the time period of 1989 gives me the ability to run three different paint schemes at one (green, hocky, and RW&B) as well as capturing the last stand of the Big MLW's before the GE's showed up!

So the layout is double deck, roughly 26' X 36' HO scale, with Atlas, Peco, and Rapido code 83 track. When I started construction Atlas track was hard to find so I wnr with Peco until I could aquire a good supply of Atlas code 83. I used the Rapido track on the lower level Dawson Creek branch since I had a bunch on pre order. I have a blog that has more details/photoso, and I try and update it every so often but I've been slacking off as of late.

Very nicely done!  Great detail, lighting, and weathering, and I love the look of the scenery in the North Country.
