Jersey City Industrial Railroad Micro-Layout

Heh, just found that one, too.  There's some reference to it still being standing as of 4 years ago, but the link is private.  I'm searching on the map sites to see if I can track it down.  Would be great to see how it looks after all these years.

OK quickdraw, beat me by seconds! 

And it's now a furniture place! http://www.furnituredesignidaho.com/

Furniture place!  What are the odds of that.

Looks a bit different these days...

In between the buildings, under the laundry--



As it happens, I've been thinking of modeling this very scene.

How about a Genco Olive Oil Company or the Feast of San Gennaro?

I really like the silo complex there and absolutely love that stakebed truck! And awnings over the first floor windows of a factory?????

Amazing scene. You have concrete silos, a multi-level and multi-gabled mill with an "almost" ghost sign, then a brick building to the right of that. Then the mammoth brick furniture factory behind the photographer (correct?). Classic modeling scene......

I don't know, I may have to break down and start a layout in N scale. But it will not have anything remotely like yours and David's on it, Chris. Who wants to knowingly embarrass themselves?!?!

Come on in the water is fine.   

Fit a 24"x 48" bed on the laser and raster the whole thing.

Yeah, Karin c'mon in and show these guys what a woman with a laser can do.

The water's fine, he says. I've had my head in a bucket of Z water too long. I look at all the detail that is "expected" in N scale and realize yes, I can do it and enjoy it very much, especially because I have lasers. But show it here on TRW? I'm not THAT crazy!

Speaking of lasers I am getting another one. Instead of just the 12"x18" vector table I will have an 18"x37" so maybe I should give your idea a try! Yah shore!

We are also adding a whole 600+ sq ft room to the house just for train layouts so space should not be an issue. Well except for the husband who plans to fill it with Z    OK, OK, so I get 80 of those squarish feet to expand my shop, still.......

Karin, think about it: you've already shown your work on TRW, and the guys love it. At the very least, you can expect two things: 1, honest and useful constructive criticism, and 2, praise that's genuine and meaningful.

And just for giggles, here's a track plan I did for someone else some time ago that just happens to be 18"x 37" (actually, it was originally 18"x 36") as an example of what you can do in that kind of space in N scale.

Very sneaky.... I just mentioned to hubby that I should start that N layout but didn't have a track plan in mind. You guys are messing with my head ya know.

All part of our evil master plan. Muahahahah!
