But I've been there, so every time I go to your house, I'll angrily protest and make derisive comments about your stature as a prototype infidel. ;)

Not built yet...  But designed following the right geography.  Sure, selectively compress we must, but if the river is on the right, the river is on the right!  If my WM train is headed west to Luke, the Potomac has to be on the south side of the tracks!

You're turning the world upside down!

lol... but Lee, your Hagerstown is inverse (the tracks are elevated, not below street level!!).

You've learned to live with it ;)

Ed, just put a big mirror across the other side of the room, and tell Lee where to go when he's there...

North Junction... Read 'em and weep...  US 11 on an overpass!

would you like to know when the overpass was constructed... i won't tell you until you tell me what year your layout is supposed to be...

Well, if you're going to split hairs, the Rt. 11 overpass only goes over the PRR.  This is clearly a case where local model railroad conditions had to trump the prototype.  But alas. It is a scenery element that is altered, not the general orientation of the railroad...



On the other hand, I was forced to totally foobie Maryland Jct.  In reality it exists railroad east of the Cumberland Depot.  I have it at Luke, which was actually well down the Thomas Sub.  However, it's function on the layout replicates it's prototype function, splitting the Connellsville Sub to the right, and the Thomas Sub to the left.

Ah, the art of compromise!
