"He said - he built this trestle in 3 days"
With at least two identical building jigs...............possible, but the jigs weren't part of the 3 day build time.
AND, The trestle hasn't been stained/painted/weathered yet.
AND, I'll bet those were rather long days :o

On Sunday, I visited Andy Rubbo's Northeast Corridor layout, set in north Jersey 1967. He pretty much models the same stretch of the NEC i hope to when I get the space, though I have my own idea about how i'll do it.

Who's layout is this? They are seriously trying Zoo Interlocking! Intense! I don't want to know what the catenary situation is on that section of railroad.

Charles Chandler II - It was really cool to see what he has planned
I'm going to try to stop by every year to see his progress

Man, that is a gorgeous layout Chris! In particular the grime weathering is awesome.

Re: 2013 Model Railroad Open Houses - Lester Perry - 11-10-2013
Wow you guys are making the rounds this year. I think I might get out some now, it is hard to do when I am in the schedule. I think I might head over to Jersey.

Looks like I missed the opportunity to see Charlie Grant's layout. Thats a new one for me, will have to check it out next year! Seems like a big increase in electrified layouts lately.
