The Farwest Railroad is designed as a out-and-back rail line affiliated withthe CBP*R0, Thus'-when operation is achieved one will see motive and rollingstock in both"schemes.

The overall eise of the layout will be 10' X 2V and will be the shape of alarge "JH to facilitate access,

A large through yard to accommodate both steam and diesel will occupy thelongest side of the layout.

Construction consists of flat top in the yard area, merging into open gridand risers. All mainline trackage will be double and will consist of Code 83weathered rail, courtesy Railcraft. All turnouts are constructed from kits andinclude No* 6 in the yard and No, 8*s on the mainline,'

Motive power will consist mainly cf modern diesels supplied by Athern andAtlas, They will be supplemented by some steam from A.H»M.« Freight movement isthe prime activity, although passenger sen/ice is available.

Control is being supplied by Trailer staking for a combination of stationaryand walk- round control,

It needs te be stressed at this time that the layout 1$ not -operable asconstruction, began just a short while ago, after a move. .

The railroad will occupy a large rumpus room in the basement= This.roomwill be properly finished to enhance the overall appearance of the layout*

Model railroading for me really got its basics when I hired out as a brasspounder on the C.P.R.. At 16 I was the youngest operator on the line and had poton by saying I was 18, a fact the C.P.R. did not find out until same IS years.

My first job was as a work train operator on the Kettle Valley out of Fentic-ton. Most cf the summer was in the Coquihalla Pass with a ditcher train. Thiswas the summer of (43« At summer's end I returned to school. It was to be 5years later in the flood of 1948 that I started operating again* This was to last21 years, when I left the C.P.R. in 1969.

1 built my first real layout in 1949 when I got my first steady job as thirdtrick operator at Glacier In Rogers Pass. I had bought a small house'and my firstlayout occupied my whole bedroom. In deed I had to crawl under the layout to getto bed. At that time I .bought all Tru-Scale Roadbed and brass rails spending manyabsorbing and frustrating hours putting spikes in one at a time with a pair ofneedle nose pliers.

My first engine was a Varney F-3 which also meant buying ray first Dremel togrind out headlite and portholes as it was all die casts and 1 believe priced $30.,

My first cars were made" from side? printed in Model Railroader and my pass-enger cars were' Strombecker cardboard ami wood construction. However, with,-, goodtrucks and some weighting. I had a creditable streamliner*

It was to be almost 20 years later in about 197k before 1 dusted off some oldmodels and tools. This was caused by a change in my life which left me with a lotof spare time, standing by for emergency ambulance work.

At first I went whole hog and bought a fleet of big engines from Mallets -toPacifies and big cars* Soon 1 realised that short engines and cars look better ona 5f X 11! layout, so all the modem big cars and engines were sold and smallerold timers of the 1890 to 1910 era were bought. .Only cars retained were a fleetof 36 footers and some 34 foot Overton Coaches,

Some brass engines were tried, as were diesels. The diesels were traded orsold for a couple of brass steamers, one a 4-6-0 and the ether a 2-6-2. Four MDCsteamers of the old time 2-8-0 and 2-6-0 along with a couple of 2-4-0 wheelarrangements and miscellaneous switchers are now my power lineup. A..../6

Vancouver. B*C.

The red and cream interurban cars, once such a familiar part of the life onBritish Columbia's lower mainland, are things of the past* On February 28, 1958the last car to 'operate (No-; 120?') discharged its passengers at Marpole depot,and so ended a service that bad existed for 61 years under the British ColumbiaElectric Railway ss banner, fc'ith the exception of old Ho0 1223 which standsbrooding over its bygone glories and those of its sisters on a short length ofI -ack at Edmonds, jusv- off K.:n,T.r.- y, a main highly b^tv^er Y'^couver and New£:fc^t-miB5teFj--the big eiec-i-ric tmvt* -vanished.- • -i4o.- 122> only "exists through •••-•-.loyalty of a group of traction fa#s who couldn't bear to see a reman. t< M passwithout marking it with 3 monument,

No longer will the strident, yet strangely irsplodious horns warn ^.itxpg pass-engers at Central Park, Royal Oak, Jubilee, Highland Park, Jellicoej, and all theother wayside stations, to make ready to board their speedy owners, ' The hornsarc stilled forever, the care "have disappeared , and a3.most all the station;:- havebeen dismantled. Old Marpole depot remained for a couple of years after thelast interurban stopped at- her platform, .mostly boarded up and serving as afreight dispatcher's office, but in I960 she w?nt , too, ti> make room for a newstructure, modern and efficient, to house the dispatcher,. The bis- terminal atCarrall and Bastings in Vancouver is now a bank, and the other and only slightlyless important main station at Hew Westminster has been revamped, as a fui i -^"^and appliance store.

Most of the rails that formed a double mainline track, kept polished "by tl efrequent and careening passage of the bulky interurbans^ have beer- rippod iOne set of track remains where two once kept eo^ any, and that on] i f >' ••rminalfreights puU.ed by diesels* Kven the overh^: r w: rej ire gone0

This i s to be the Centre!

From H1KE DISPATCHER" Issue #6 Nov - Dec 196CGOME ARE THIl J IG RgD^CARS C Continued): _ _ _

In 1891 a depression began. The Vancouver Electric Railway and Light Companythat had been operating a streetcar service in Vancouver since June 26S 1890,found itself in financial difficulties. One reason for diminished service wasthat the novelty of tram cars had worn off; another, that most of the populat-ion lived only ten minutes walk from their places of employment I In May, 1893,trustees took over for the bondholders. The property and assets were thenbought by a new company - The Consolidated Railway and Light Company .

Vancouver was not alone in its troubles during the gloomy period of the de-pression. The Westminster and Vancouver Tramway also moved into deep financ-ial waters, and after a series of setbacks, the British Columbia Electric Rail-way Company was f erased by two men, Robert Horne-Payne and Frank Bsrnard, andacquired both of the sy&teijis.

In 1902 the Canadian Pacific Hallway Company built the steam- powered Vancou-ver & Lulu island Railway fro*: downtown Vancouver to the village of Steveaton,located on Lulu Island , j-avl cl the delta of the Fraser River, south of Van-couver. The island^ iri.clckr:i:-!y ; was named after a dance-hall queen who wasthe toast of the New WestJ::;>--ter area in rough, tough pioneer days. The BCERleased the railway for eleeV^ic&j. interurban service in 1905- The CPR con-structed a branch of the Vancouver ar.d Lulu Island between Mar pole and NewWestminster in 1909, and. this was also leased by the BCER. This particularsection was in passenger service until February 28 1958, when buses replacedthe trains,

g the p rlcxi in which the Vancouver-Steyeston-New Westminster line wasbeing put into service with interurbans, the BCER acquired more extensivetrackage into the Fra&er Valley. The Vancouver, Fraser Valley and SouthernRailroad was incorporated in 1906 and absorbed by the BCEH system in 1907. In1910, the first 21 miles of a proposed 64 mile line to CM.liiwa.ck was put intoservice, and construction continued through the valley on the south side ofthe Fraser River* The last spike was driven on October 10, 1910 > and passen-gers were carried, by the red and cream electric cars until September, 19%when they were replaced with buses,

On June 12, 1911 , tb- -.. .aby Lake line of the BCER was opened and becamethe final addition to tho *•;•'- tea on the B.C. mainland. This right-of-way waslocated several mil?:; north _..? the original Central1 Park Tine, and extendedfor 14.7 miles between Van= - uvsr and Hew Westminster „, It was abandoned infavor of bus service on October 23, 1953,

The BCER continues to operate all of these railway lines > with the exceptionof the Burnaby Lake branch, to provide freight service.

As well as operating its extensive interurban system, the company servicedthe cities of Vancouver, North Vancouver, New Westminster, and their suburbs,with street car networks, The 'last car made its run on the Hastings Eastroutefi April 22, 1955* The original equipment consisted of diminutive /i-wheelers which were replaced as the years passed with a succession of more moderncars until the PCC's (Presidents5 Conference Cars) which were added not toolong before the street railway system was discontinued,. Now trolley busescarry Vancouverites and residents of the other cities. Street cars andwere also operated by the company on Vancouver Island. interurbans

While "in Kelo-vma,, Marion and I followed the old McCullough Road up to McCullochon the now abandoned Kettle Valley Railway , The higher,, shaded areas still hadabout 4 incties of melting snow and ice on the road, but we made itj At McCullochthe snow was about two feet deep over the tracks and toe soft to venture off theroad. Hydraulic Lake was still frozen, a snowmobile would have been handy I We gota couple of camera shots and returned to Kelowna on Highway 33*

Sorry, folks, this is the end I See you April 16, June 15, 16 & 1? A- next time!a . .1 .
