149th Street Harlem Station

[sailormatlac]

Matt, how about a covered barge like the red one on the right hand? I would like to have one on my layout but a H0 model is 14" x 4"..... There is a resin and a wood kit on US eBay.

To my knowledge, no such barge was frequent visitor at Harlem Station. The marine front on the layout is quite small when the carfloat and tugboat are in place.

BTW, mark this day as it is the first time in 2 decades I ever complete ballast and ground cover on any layout I ever built. Ballast is a mix of various dirt, sand, sandblasting sand and charcoal. It's only a starting point as I'll have to adjust coloration here and there with washes, pastel powders and various material. Harlem Station was a very dirty place to be. Some weeds will also be needed here and there.
