Very nice pictures.  I tried to visit Fort Nelson a couple of times in the late '90s but it was closed.  I think they were doing some major renovations at the time.

I think they've just got some lottery funding and are planning to modify it in some way. Looks like some good plans from the concept drawings.

Great stuff!

They didn't happen to have a battery wagon there, did they?  For ages, I've been looking for a photo of one of these:

Thank you for sharing the pictures.
