New Layout Started

[ChuckC]

I'm a big Emery Gulash fan, and I think he may have some footage of the Dinky Line on one or two of his DVDs -- certainly the Brush St Station is featured on the Detroit Passenger Trains DVD. If you like architecture, the Brush Street Station and the neighboring Brush Street Presbyterian Church would really be great features!

As much as I would have loved to have had the Station, as it was in my original plan in N scale, the Station was to have been the frontal part of the layout where everything was to begin. The 6 passenger tracks with butterfly canopies and 9 freight leads. The total length in N was about 12 feet but that included 2 large inbound and outbound freight warehouses and REA facility. By going HO I will only have a small staging yard (6-8 feet) leading out to the industries ending with another small yard for empties for re-staging as loaded freight to go into the Detroit Yard.
I'm going to Durand today for Train Days, and will check and see if they have his DVD's for sale in the museum. Thanks for the tip on Gulash.
