The time has come to put my passion for trains into building my first model train layout. As many of my fondest memories are based on trips to Nova Scotia, it is no surprise that I have chosen this region as the background for the layout. The Dominion Atlantic Railway used to pick up passengers as they dissembarked from the ferry in Digby and this will be the starting point of the layout. Running through the Annapolis valley, passing through Deep Brook, Cornwallis, Annapolis Royal and into Kentville which was the headquarters and main service depot for the line, we continue past the gypsum mines and continue as far north as Truro where we intersect with CN lines running between Halifax and Montreal.Truro will anchor the other end of the layout. The plan is almost in the final design stage and will be posted soon.
