About Our Simulator

Located in the Cloverdale station museum is a mockup of the Motorman’s controls of an interurban. It is comprised of the speed controller, brake handle, whistle and bell, and a large screen where a video simulates the train’s movement on the track as the motorman would see it.

The simulator is light weight and easily transported, and often becomes the spotlight attraction of our booth at the various train shows we participate in throughout the year.

Director Terry Nichols designed and built the simulator along with Director Roger Crick, with computer simulation developed by Director Aaron Lau.

Visitors to the Heritage Rail Adventure can experience the Motorman’s Simulator for themselves!

Happy National train day!

I’m celebrating the occasion by throwing it back… to 11 hours ago, when the 2nd trip of the Fraser Valley Heritage Rail Society’s Connaught Car for the 2022 season passed through Surrey’s Sullivan neighbourhood.

This is the first painting I painted for the Paint the train competition it’s called “A Lantern’s View “ it has a BC train coming out of it! The coal oil lanterns were used many years ago to signal trains in the front and back. I used a new surface called Aquabord with my Q O R watercolours. It was a challenge to use such a smooth clay surface! #fraservalleyheritagerailway #fraservalleyrail #interurbanrailway #electricrailway #qorwatercolors #qorwatercolor #aquabord #paintthetrain2021 ...

Spent a lovely morning with the volunteers at the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society last week. Nickel Bros raises the trains here to allow access to restore undercarriage parts like the motors and wheel assemblies. If you haven`t paid this site a visit, make sure it`s on your summer to-do list!

This is the second piece of artwork I enter in the Paint the train competition it’s called “Past and Present “. The front of the train is 1923 train and the back is a 2019 train now in service in Cloverdale B.C . Both trains are stunning and with a 96 years span it’s amazing to see how technology has changed! #fraservalleyheritagerailway #fraservalleyrail #interurbanrailway ##electricrailway #archeswatercolorpaper #qorwatercolors #qorwatercolours # ...

The third piece I entered in the Paint the train competition is called “All Aboard”. This was painted from a photo of the train traveling along Highway 10 in Cloverdale. It travels from Cloverdale station to Sullivan station and returns to Cloverdale.

At the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society; Frank, our mannequin portrayed a 1917 grocery store clerk. I had the privilege of staging the Station. This past weekend, 545 people visited, listened to music & rode the Interurban into the Barn where Father Christmas had a secret workshop. Lots of fun & a great success! #1917 #Christmas #oldfashionedchristmas #fvhrs #volunteer #interurban #lovetodecorate #history #backintheday #christmasdecorations #bcheritage #canadianchristmas #heritagerailway #christmasstore #takemeback #rusticchristmas #reddecor #december ...
