Its that time of year again, time for the Doubleheaders Layout Tour!

Like last year, we will be setting up the CNJ Bronx Terminal at the registration hall.  If you are planning on coming that day, be sure to drop by and say “Hi”

Here is a list of all the layouts open this year, with a picture and short description.

TTC Awesomeness

I found my self in Toronto (Etobicoke ) last week and to my surprise right next door was some of the coolest streetcar trackage I have seen in the city.

I believe this is the end of the TTC streetcar line and the location of the shops (I’m sure someome can correct me if I’m wrong).  Naturally, this also included some very complex trackwork, similar I would say to the track on the Bronx Terminal (well, almost).

I took what pictures I could from the sidewalk, and even that was raising some eyebrows.  I would love to get in there for a closer look.

Here is a map of the area.

And a bird’s eye view.

I can totally see getting into street car modeleing.  Just for the trackwork.

Making good progress setting the layout back up after returning from Springfield last week.  This process takes about 45 minutes.

I’m currently on day 9.
