Erie Railroad Mahoning division HCD

LOL I'm guessing I'd have to go to the Hubbard Library?  They used to have Model Railroader there!

It looks like there are a few places on line that you can access the Sanborn maps, but you need a library card (number).  However, it may be better to go to a library if you can.  On one of my trips to Waterloo I was able to see the actual paper maps and in there was a detail for both the CGW and RI depots.

How tall is the average 55 gallon drum?

35" 

well if it's 35" and those boards are 5.5" the board at the bottom would be 7.5". I guess I can live with that, but then the ticket booth must be wider than the floorplan.

[Chris333]

I think this will work. It was drawn at 18'x54'.

Also got this bridge fitted:


Here it is on the last layout:


and a few layouts before that...

I had to cut it down and make a new left abutment. I made castings of Kato bridge shoes for it a while back.

You may be able to get access to Sanborn maps in Ohio from the online digital libraries of one of the State Universities; the University of South Carolina has Sanborn maps for most of the state as part of its online digital collection, which is available to anyone and everyone for free

When will the Niles GE Lamp plant make an appearance?   

[Chris333]

Steve, it was tore down just a few days ago.  Believe me I've thought many times to make a whole layout based on Niles. When you follow the prototype exact you need a crap load more info.

Wait so what's the layout history? You bought a house and had a large shelf/island planned and started, and now it's just a door?

What about "The Other Industrial Layout"? Is that over or just on hold? Sorry I'm out of the loop!

The S.

[Chris333]

This is the third main layout at the house. The industrial layout is still kicking, along with my other 2x4 country layout. So 3 total working layouts along with some other stragglers   

A door just seamed so much more managable. The door is now the main layout.

Took a while to find this site and the date is 1911 but they are sanborn maps of Hubbard

The Erie station scales to 70' x 20' give or take.

Yes, if the map is accurate, 70 x 23.

[Chris333]

Thanks for the PDF.

I wonder how accurate that is, it shows Main St. as being 60' wide when it was 43'5" wide http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/el/dwg/75-10788.gif
