trackplan ogden shops ??

[sschaer]

if memory serves right ogden is the large cp shop in calgary. i'd like to build something similar but compressed on my next layout. it should be large enough to hold a few dozen locos without looking overfilled. i really need a place to show some of my 250 or so cp rail locos....

now i need some ideas. does anyone of you have a trackpland of the ogden shops ?

mike, any hints ?

not sure if they have the ogden shops but check cpsig.ca they have a libary section that has alot of maps though it does take abit of typing to find stuff

I don't have Ogden but I do have a map of the Golden repair yard. I have witnessed up to 15 locomotives there plus around 500 bathtubs in the past. Drop me a line if you want it.

Cheers

johnny...

sounds interesting. would you mind to email the map ?

There's a web site that has aerial/satellite photos, http://terraserver.microsoft.com, covering most, if not all, of the USA. If you can find a similar site covering the Calgary area, you might find something helpful.

that's the only one i found so far. unfortunately this is a rather poor view of the tracks. at least not good enough to design a 1:160 copy of the yard.
but thank you anyway

If it wasnt so darn cold (-30 C), Id just pop on down to the yard and take pics. I also had a book called "railways of Calgary". If I remember correctly, it had a few nice shots of the factility. I believe I lent it to Mike H....cant remember if he gave it back tho...

Here is a link....I belive I had the newer version...

I'll try and scan it tonight,

Simon

 

[Sir_Prize]

Wouldn't mind the scan either.
Can't hurt to have some real train layout plans to help one figure out a model layout.

If, you don't mind...
One Sir to another...

ok since it's a big file I'm not going to email it, but you can get it from
