Brooklyn 1st Ave waterfront

[Rscott417]

I finished laying all the track and spent most of the weekend testing it out, running trains and switching cars around. I'm pleased with how it turned out. I've added 2 blue point switch machines and I like how they operate and how reliable they are, just gotta install 24 more. The carfloat is still unasssembled because I'd like to figure out a way to fasten it to its hinged benchwork without gluing it down just in case one day I decide to change the water. Here's some over view photos of the progress.


Facing 180° from the above photo will be the engine house. The track to right will be the lead on to 1st avenue towards Sims and the South Brooklyn Railway interchange and the track to the left will be an abandoned industrial lead.



Following 1st Avenue will be Yi Pin and East Peak Trading


Next is Atlantic Waste Services. When I run NY Cross Harbor and NYNJ engines they'll receive boxcars for bailed garbage but when I run the B&G engines they'll get MSW containers on flat cars.


Also on 1st will be Franklin Polymers.


The team tracks will be Midwood Lumber and outbound waste oil by Safety Kleen (NY Cross Harbor/NYNJ) and Bass Oil (B&G). I'm also going to add the NY Cross Harbor caboose on the left most team track where the tank car is that was used as a yard office and is still currently there.

And lastly the 1st avenue track towards the interchange with LIRR and NY&A
