http://lvnyharbor.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Lehigh Valley Harbor Terminal Railway. Modeling the LVRR's Jersey City waterfront operations circa 1953. Monday, February 11, 2013. I am a natural procrastinator, as some of those "pals" of mine will tell you, such as the previously referenced Sheriff of Bloggingham, aka Ted DiIorio ( http:/ maparr1943.blogspot.com/. Regardless of my drive to complete things (boy, deadlines are a WONDERFUL motivator! And second, I thought that by sharing some of these pictures here, that those of you who might be reading...

Lehigh Valley Harbor Terminal Railway: November 2011
http://lvnyharbor.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Lehigh Valley Harbor Terminal Railway. Modeling the LVRR's Jersey City waterfront operations circa 1953. Saturday, November 19, 2011. Well, it's the day after the big Shakedown #3, and I must say, it wasn't too bad. Was it uneventful? No Was it a disaster? No, not really! Was it fun and insightful? Not too many really "horrible" issues need to be addressed to allow the RR to run smoothly and as planned, and they can be fixed relatively quickly and cheaply, or so I think! Here's what I have effectionately...

Lehigh Valley Harbor Terminal Railway: March 2013

Lehigh Valley Harbor Terminal Railway. Modeling the LVRR's Jersey City waterfront operations circa 1953. Sunday, March 17, 2013. Yet another s3 (Sucessful Shakedown Session). Since I've been actually pre-occupied with working on the layout to post, I thought I'd take a moment before mt favorite show (The Walking Dead) starts, and share some shots taken from this weekend's shakedown session. Only two more to go before I host a very special op session at the end of April! It WAS St, Patty's Eve, after all!

Lehigh Valley Harbor Terminal Railway. Modeling the LVRR's Jersey City waterfront operations circa 1953. Saturday, December 31, 2011. Well, here we are December 31st, and as I promised, an update before the end of 2011. I came back with about $250 worth in turnouts, and that was only for five turnouts! Boy, this better be worth it! 52 turnouts and counting! Before" - With the already installed double slips that span (r to l), Eastbound Main, Westbound Main, and yard tracks 2 Dock and 3 Dock. In this ...

Jakes Creek Branch of the D&RGW: New Scenery
http://jakescreek.blogspot.com/2016/10/new-scenery.html
Jakes Creek Branch of the D&RGW. Modeling the D&RGW in Sn3. Monday, October 3, 2016. I still need to add a bunch of forest floor junk made from sticks, leaves and other stuff from the backyard that I'll grind up in an old blender. The rocks also need more color and some vegetation, and mostly I need to add trees. But for now it's fun to see a train run over something other than plywood. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Jakes Creek Branch of the D&RGW: August 2016
http://jakescreek.blogspot.com/2016_08_01_archive.html
Jakes Creek Branch of the D&RGW. Modeling the D&RGW in Sn3. Friday, August 26, 2016. I've started laying out the track for the mill that is at the end of the branch on the upper level. I've decided to build a module that can be set into place instead of standing on a footstool. Here are two photos of the progress. Friday, August 19, 2016. I picked up this Micro Engineering HO scale Grogers Grocery kit for nothing! To make it work for S scale I simply replaced the doors with Grandt Line S scale commercial...

Jakes Creek Branch of the D&RGW: April 2016
http://jakescreek.blogspot.com/2016_04_01_archive.html
Jakes Creek Branch of the D&RGW. Modeling the D&RGW in Sn3. Sunday, April 24, 2016. The photo also shows the C-19 #340 I've been working on (I really need to stop using my phone and get out the Canon SLR). It needed some TLC; a few parts were missing or broken and the weathering wasn't in the best shape. It was a PBL Foreground model so it did have PFM sound. Even though this is a late Samhongsa model, it runs like a champ. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Derrell Poole's 7th Street Shops.

Jakes Creek Branch of the D&RGW: January 2016
http://jakescreek.blogspot.com/2016_01_01_archive.html
Jakes Creek Branch of the D&RGW. Modeling the D&RGW in Sn3. Friday, January 15, 2016. Here's a video of the first train with a helper. I'll admit I was pretty nervous running a train like this without scenery (nothing to stop the train from hitting the floor should gravity take over). This has given me a big incentive to get more of the mainline finished. I can't wait to actually run a train from Chama to Cumbres! Saturday, January 2, 2016. YEE HAW, Progress! I just love Christmas vacation!
