Amherst to Truro Route

Amherst to Truro Route

Amherst to Truro Route (Part of the CN Springhill Subdivision)

Although Nelson Godden (VIA6415) did some great prototypical routes, I haven’t been able to find much in the way of recent layouts representing the province of Nova Scotia, so I’ve created an Amherst to Truro route (a segment of Canadian National’s Springhill subdivision). I initially tried to create it as a prototypical segment, but it was taking me much longer than I had initially expected, so I switched to more of a large model train design which was loosely based on reality. Some of the businesses modeled on the route are still in existence, some have come and gone, and a few are fictional creations that I added to create a little more variety along the way. Era influences are all over the place, but in my mind it sits in the late 70s/early 80s zone of my youth, when many more of the branches and spurs modeled in the layout still existed.

As of the creation date of this CDP (2023-Apr-29), it's expected that a lot of the assets used on the route aren't on the DLS (and possibly a couple of them may be pay ware from the JR routes I own). The hope is that by making this route available for public download, users will be able to hunt down and provide download links for these non-DLS assets, and that I'll be able to post that information to the following forum thread:
