CNJ Bronx Terminal site

View from above.

Using Windows Live Local mapping site I was able to locate the former CNJ Bronx Terminal. Not much left there to identify its roots, but the shape of the site is definately familiar.

The same image with a drawing of the former terminal superimposed onto the site.

Here is a link to a very cool birds eye view of the site. This map is fully scrollable and very addictive!

Birds eye view of former CNJ Bronx Terminal location

Enjoy!

Gaps update

Oops.

A sharp eyed modeler pointed out a mistake in the gapping in the section shown above. The Blue/Pink/Green frogs can all be a single section, like in the image below….

The logic being that only a single train can travel over the entire pink section at a time, therefore it isn’t necessary to isolate the three frogs, it can be left as a single section.

Thanks to David at The Gauge for pointing this out. It will save a few wires!

Dusty stuff

In a dusty store….

Taken inside an antique shop in St. Jacobs, Ontario. It looks like the blacksmith shop that once occupied this place slowly changed into an antique store as all the original stuff is still in there. Even the smell…

Here is another bit of levity. The other Canadians will appreciate this….

ah Rick, we love ye.
