Okay Ed - This one's for you. With steel reinforcing.
Wow, just...awesome!Let me ask, I'm guessing that looks like a brass cabin car. It looks longer than the Bowser cabin cars. Are the Bowser cars that far off the mark?
SJNSLWLT#1 (1st annual South Jersey N Scale Lone Wolf Layout Tour)Four of us from South Jersey and an alien visitor from the central Jersey shore got together to tour each of our under construction (with a long ways to go) model railroads. Although none of us have layouts ready for public consumption, we did enjoy sharing our construction progress, dreams, and aspirations.First stop: Ntrainz1. Bob has switched his 3'x18' railroad (DKS track plan) over to code 55 and is patiently awaiting track! He models the Conrail Shared Access in southern New Jersey (without the A Frame Paulsboro bridge that dumps hazmat tank cars into Mantua Creek). Where did he get that yellow school bus?TimHar47 was the next stop. Tim is modeling the PRR Middle Division with a LV interchange. (Tim is the group's leading kit basher.)Next on to John's house for a lesson in how to build a layout without track. While waiting for a slow boat from China (code 80 flextrack) John is laying out the scenery in his 12'x28' layout room (drool, drool!). John is modeling NS in Virginia and Kentucky.Finally back to my place (PRSL, early 1950s) where gpumph is attempting to determine how to lay out the city of Camden without interfering with the Pavonia Yard.
Where in So Jersey are you guys? I'm in Lakewood.
Here's the list of southern Jerseyites that I've come up with so far.Our little tour involved me (rickb773), Ntrainz1, TimHar47, John (a free agent), and gpumph.
