I'm having a little trouble trying to track down a 1900's era Railroad map of the Northwestern Pacific RR.

and/ or The North coast Railroad.

The particular part i'm interested in is the branch that runs from Alton(formerly Hansen at the time) to

Carlotta.

I know it was formerly operated by the PALCO  as far as the mill at carlotta and had running rights to eureka,

I picked up this little guy in a local auction - I had no idea what it was, and I simply bid blindly on an assorted box.

Turns out he covered my costs pretty well. You can see the original thread here.

The model was identified by another Forum member (shout out to Joe Brugger) as a Ken Kidder brass import, and it turns out he's right on the money.

Hello all,

For those who are interested. Here is the start of my new plan. It was done in 3rd Planit and was a little difficult to get into a form that you all could see, but the part up top is the important bit. The yard / industrial area is based on the Yard at Mansfield, MA. If you look at Google Maps, and search for Mansfield and look wast of the junction of rt 140 and rt 106, move to the center of town and then follow the N-S line, which is Amtraks NE Corridor, you will see the yard north of the station on the west of the tracks.

So....I had a momentary lack of weakness, and put a bid at a local estate auction for a box of HO. I didn't look too closely, and fortunately I didn't bid too much.

Come to find out, I won it. So I went down and picked it up. So what did I get?

A CP gp38m and A CN SW, both Athearn blue box

Tyco? BN F unit and three freight cars along with a CN F and a Soo. All tyco or similar.
