I've did my homework over the last weeks and finally came to the conclusion Temiscouata (Connors) was probably my best bet as a matter of operation, space and prototype. It can fit on a 13" wide shelf which is the maximum I'm ready to give this project. I also found timetables and many other snippet about operations and goods moved to Connors. There was also a small deluxe hotel in Connors for wealthy fishing and game hunting amateurs. I've come to the conclusion the turntable/engine house will be a separate module.
I'm still unsure about the modelling era but little thing changed in Connors from 1891 to the Great Depression. I have two choices. Pre-CNR or post-CNR. Going pre-CNR means much variety in roadnames (Canadian Northern, Intercolonial, Grand Trunk, etc.) and shorter cars which is an advantage for a small layout. Going post-CNR (pre-Depression) means more readily available cars. Anyway, that's not a question that matters that much right now.
