We will build a small layout 14”x70” to give a taste of what they can expect at our open houses that will be held on the first Friday of the month.
To add even more excitement visitors will be able to take control of a train and experience what it’s like to do operations. Visitors will effect a train movement in the least amount of time, they will be able to judge them themselves by a known time and try to improve, but be careful some of the cargo is perishable, you will have to manipulate with extreme care.
This is a little game inspired by the famous “Timesaver” created by John Allen. What will make the Richelieu Valley “Timesaver” special is that it will be completely landscaped, and a little easier to operate for those with less experience.
Please come back on a regular basis. We will post all the stages of the construction of the railroad, from the Bench work to the final touches of course along the way will talk about electrical hook-ups, and building construction. The “timesaver” will be unveiled to the general public in the month of August at The Canadian Railway Museum in St-Constant, Quebec.
Below is the first step, The Plan.
