faraway Wrote:I continued thinking about Vernon and a possible layout derived from Vernon. This draft of a freelance layout based on the Vernon situation came to my mind.
It is based on the tracks between E. 44th St and E. Vernon Ave. That are unusual rich tracks with a lot of served industries. The tracks are connected at both end with some interesting curves. The two streets would be off the layout. Only one or two North-South crossing streets will be on the layout (e.g. State St) and some more on the left and right end. The length could be up to 12' (4m)and 2' (0,6m) wide (same as current layout). The buildings would be of the "white box style" for the present but there might be a brick based alternative for the past when the area was the meat packer area as Russ lines out. The four track staging yard is unchanged on the other side of the room.
How are you getting on with your Vernon plans, or have things changed ?
Cheers!
