Saw it last night at work. First thought was, too bad it wasn't a little further to the left. would have been great to see the station DKS built.

Hey, check it out...

This is essentially my version of the plan with the sidings on both ends and the stone arch bridge...   :D

No cats in this house!  Just a 13-year-old dog who can't jump anymore.

GMR 2014 has arrived! Time to celebrate the Juniata Division.

I must say that I'm deeply touched by the sidebar on the station. It was entirely unexpected and greatly appreciated. What a wonderful surprise!

Thank you, Dr. Vollmer.

It was the least I could do as thanks.

Just received my GMR 2014 and on page 36, there it is, The Juniata Division. Dave the layout looks great and really hi-lights what can be accomplished on a HCD layout. The station sidebar on page 42 is a very nice tip of the hat to David, who did a excellent job on the Lewistown station.  On a side note, the wife and I were just though Lewistown 2 weeks ago. We rode Number 42 the Eastbound Pennsylvanian to Harrisburg and returned on number 43 the Westbound Pennsylvanian. Heading East just before all of the stations we were actually crossed over from number 1 track to number 2 track for the station stop. After each station stop we were crossed over from number 2 track back to number 1 track, not sure if the PRR did this for the smaller passenger stations? Lewistown station looked great, unfortunately it was only a two minute station stop, so I was not able to get any pictures of the station. The only disappointment with the article was no pictures were published of Enola?

Photos were taken of Enola but for reasons I don't know, they didn't make the cut.

The maneuver your train did at Lewistown is because there is no longer an eastbound platform and shelter.  In Pennsy days, passenger trains were routed to the outer two of the four track main between Denholm and LEWIS tower.

I could have used more photos as well, but I could probably say that about all the layouts in the issue. With the JD we know all the great scenes so we miss them.

Is it just me or do most of the photos in this issue look like HDR photos?
