Possible Web Project for Museum?

Post by stem »

Now that Ken McIlvoy has provided us with a very complete set of track diagrams he has suggested that we create a simplified schematic of the DAR. This could perhaps could be used to accompany the MSTS DAR line as a PDF disgram, in a brochure for the museum or even as as a large display inside or outside of the museum on perhaps two to three 4 x 8 painted sheets of plywood. The day has already come when the memory of how extensive the DAR was is on the verge of being forgotten. This might make a fitting display for the museum in the coming year and wouldn't cost a fortune.

If you are not sure of what I am suggesting, I am also posting a track diagram that Ken sent along as an example.

I think a schematic is a great idea as a research resource for those who study and model the DAR. I am not sure it would make a great museum display - too technical for most museum visitors.
