Here's sort of a representative picture. My layout's overall theme is Penn Central but I've created a freelanced railroad (The Kings Port & Western) to interchange with it. My first attempt at a freelance scheme was the blue box car with orange letters but the orange looked faded. I then created the orange and black with the NY state map logo. A river barge loaded with aggregate is in the foreground.

Toy trains are overrated...

Les, I am intreaged by the rail on the otherside of the river.

Can you tell us more about it? Where does it go, what do you run on it. It look interesting and steep.

kent, the grade you see is for a shortline,J&M. it is a rr that operates on a shoe string. it is one day from going broke.it rise about a foot and a half. levels off for a short distance wher it has a small yard. it then rises at about the same grade to six feet plus. so that I can walk under it. I desired a grade that would allow 2 cars and bobber caboose maximum. and that is what I have. the only power is a 3 truck shea which is almost too big you must be careful in some turns.here are some pics most show grades

I have more pics some where but I think this is enough

My favorite Stuff, toptrain1

My favorite railroads are The CNJ and the Pennsylvania RR. In Pennsy my favorite locomotive is the HIPPO 2-10-0 decapod. The photo is of my Cary conversion decapod. It has a Cary boiler and details with a Penn-Line Drive. The CNJ locomotive is my old Mantua Cast and Brass Pacific. A locomotive from the late 1940's.

old mantua pacific

This CNJ pacific was made in the late 40's and early 50's. In the Gallery I have photo albums on both my CNJ and PRR locomotives and other trains.

Lester,
Your first picture is very interesting. I would love to see more pictures of this scene.

 

[brakie]

Les,The Central Railroad of New Jersey, was commonly known as the Jersey Central..Just a play on words.

 

[lester perry]

OK Larry thanks.
marcie here are some pics I have shown on the guage before you were on here.
this is looking the other direction from th Main line.

this is closer look at what is just at the right edge of first pic

this is the last one I have right now. I believe you should be able to orient the direction in relation to first pic

Great pictures. Thank you Les. I'm assuming loads from train cars are dumped from this spur into trucks. Is this correct? I'm not sure I used the proper terms but I am still trying to learn them. I can't wait to start my layout. I will put in a scene like this.
