Hey, PT.  Your route is a good one.  You will find it is definitely not the fastest route but it is very scenic with lots to visit and photograph.  If you are interested in trains I would stop at the Railway museum in Revelstoke (Lamplighter campground is a nice little park and is well run).  As another poster suggested, Nelson is a really interesting town (as are Nakusp and New Denver).  Fort Steele is worth an afternoon visit and I would recommend stopping at the Riverside Campground in Kimberley to take in the mining display in Kimberley (train ride underground to a replica of the now closed underground operation in Kimberley).
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
