CP Scarborough Harbor Branch Line - HO Scale

[steinjr]

Tetters, seeing your trackplan, it reminded me of the Hoboken Shore Railroad <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://hbs.railfan.net/">http://hbs.railfan.net/</a><!-- m -->. They had a floatbridge and a special floatbridge yard that looks very much like your yard <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://hbs.railfan.net/hbs-mapb.gif">http://hbs.railfan.net/hbs-mapb.gif</a><!-- m -->. So if you don’t know the HBS already, it might give you some inspiration.

Good point, Kurt.

Byron Henderson (who has had quite a few plans published in Model Railroader and Model Railroad Planning) also has a Hoboken Shore 12 foot H0 scale layout in his gallery of layouts he has designed for clients: http://home.earthlink.net/~mrsvc2/id15.html

I also once made a plan for something a little similar, in a "what can you fit on a 4x8 sheet of plywood, if you cut it up instead of keeping it in a 4x8 rectangle" contest on another train forum.

Mine (which should fit into a 10x12 foot room) was based on the Bush Terminal in Brooklyn, and was heavily inspired by a layout by Bernhard Kempinski in Model Railroad Planning 2003. I'll try to post an image below - in case it gets cut off on the left, here is a link to the plan : http://home.online.no/~steinjr/trains/mo...index.html



Anyways, I think tetters layout plan looks very good as it is, and am looking forward to seeing this layout as it gets built!

Smile,
