Hello everyone, got back into the hobby just over a year ago after a 25 year absence. Joined a local Model Railroad club (HO and N) and built a couple N scale modules that I use as part of my home layout. I am hoping that anyone familiar with rail fanning in British Columbia can share some pointers, insights and places to go. Our itinerary is as follows..... At the end of April myself and another hobbyist will be flying to Vancouver for a two week rail fanning photo adventure. We are going to spend a week traveling from Vancouver on the sea to sky highway to Lilooet, over to Kamloops and then back through the Fraser canyon looking for any railfanning photo opportunity. On the 1st of May we will be taking the train from Vancouver to Jasper. We will be spending 3 days in Jasper once again looking for rail fanning shots and exploring the area. Then we will finally board the train for our trip back home to Ontario. Other than the flight and train travel we are flexible and open to anything. Shane
Shane- Welcome to TrainBoard! It has been too long since my last BC railfanning, so I cannot speak to current situations. From what you have written, I'd say you have some good locations lined up. I am sure there are many others as well.
Welcome back! Sounds like your on your way to a great railfan adventure! We hope to see some pictures of it.
Welcome Shane. I hope you have a great trip. I haven't been back to BC in, I dunno, 10 years. I do remember visiting Squarmish and Victoria museum for model rail roading. Don't know if the RS3 is still there. I'm going back this year for the PGE-BCR 100th celebration (maybe RDC ride too). That's in early July. I hope to go back again in November for NMRA 2012 show. Share your trip. I'm interested. I'll let you know how mine was when I come back to Ont. Cheers. Marcus
