149th Street Harlem Station

[sailormatlac]

Some more progress. I started to install the curved fascia. Easier than I first thought, but extra care must be taken when handling large piece of 1/8 masonite after they are grooved on the back of the curve... I learned my lesson, trust me!

For those interested in Harlem Station prototype, I invite you to read my last blog entry. When I tried to figure out how to make the fascia, I found out Harlem Station had a secondary entrance located near the south-western corner on 149th Street. It was always assumed only one entrance was on 150th Street, but this is contradicted by many pictures and known facts. This also means all sidings that seems isolated by the carfloat apron tracks were in fact served by their own concrete pad connecting with 149th street. From a layout perspective, it means I can add two new car spots to switch! I love it!
