I taped sheets of paper together for a 16" wide by 12' long paper mock-up of the track plan to makes sure the trackage will fit. I can do what I need to do in about 10'.
The gentleman with the 1948 PRSL track charts has never
made them available so I am going to guess about the final track layout. I
would like to model Woodbury when it still had at least 2 mainline tracks. My
notes only go back to 1960 and there was only 1 mainline track left then.
I will probably go back a little further to when
Woodbury had 3 mainline tracks and guess on the arrangements. Especially after
finding the 1954 passenger schedule and seeing the PRSL was still running 6
passenger trains each way. (The Eddie Fells diagrams have 4 sidings at the
station and I do not want that much clutter.)
Unfortunately the passenger meets with Salem and Penns
Grove branches stopped in 1950. That would really make things really hectic/interesting
during the A.M. traffic rush hour.
Anyway here is what I am going with for the time
being:
The Woodbury modules will probably eventually go
along the other wall. But for now I don't have the money to tear out the wall
desk and patch the walls so I will initially place them mid-room (following the
departure of the 4'x8').
I will work on the initial 16"x6' module using
a box frame like the other modules. The second Woodbury module will probably
need to be L-girder construction since I will have to bury the Salem/Deepwater
branches as they head to staging.
OK where did I leave my hammer last? :-)
