sorry if this is the wrong place, but I too have modeled Western Canada. I built HarrTerm a small layout using freelance set in North Vancouver. It is current stored in the loft waiting to become part of a loft empire well that was the plan about 15 years ago when it got stored. I then switched to smaller Micro layouts. It featured in Model Trains International, but off the top of my head when ?

 

HarrTerm short for Harrington Terminal, was set in the freelance Harrington district of North Vancouver with connection to BN & BC Rail. It was a freight only layout. The era is mid 1980's so I could have the older BCR two tone green as well as some of red white & blue BC Rail stuff. Itried to include a bit of an urban street scene but wanted a run down area of mainly brick built buildings. One idea I got from Model Raillroader was to have a row of 3 buildings, but  using 2 kits the middle one was a demolished one just a floor and a hoarding at the front. On Harrterm they were a run down budget hotel, DPM house with storefront & covered staircase then demolished section & a corner building part Pola & Life-Like parts I think ,as the local Seaman's Mission.

All the stock and scene are stored in boxes. BN 149 was detailed to an actual BN switcher which I photographed back in 1984.
