Alexander,
Somehow I seem to have missed this thread ! Eek Eek :oops:
That is an excellent Bascule lift bridge ! Thumbsup Thumbsup Model Railroader once ran an article, with scale drawings of that bridge. Walthers must have used the same information for their HO kit. The N scale kit is the same.


In the part of the world where I grew up, a "Boat Yard", is a place where boats are brought ashore for maintenance, or Winter storage, and usually have a "marine railway" ( about a six foot gauge, with a single steel ' truck ' that the boats, in custom fit cradles, are hauled out, and re-launched on ). Wink When I built my "new modules", I had a tough time choosing between a 'Seaport Village and Museum', or a 'boat yard', like the one, at the end of the street the house was on .
Smile The museum won. Smile

OOOhhh that is shiny!


I do like that water, it seems to be the same suspciously green/brown water that I find around the Arthur Kill and other waterways in the New York City / New Jersey area.

I'm guessing from the Conrail, Lehigh Valley and D&H, that you might be going for just such a location.
