Three years and three forums later I have finally dug up a few fellow N Scale modelers within driving distance. Today we got together and toured each other's layouts. Although none of us have layouts fit for public display we did get together to share our construction progress, model railroad dreams, and aspirations.
First stop: Bob (Ntrainz1) has switched his 3'x18' layout to code 55 track and is currently waiting for Atlas Manufacturing to get its China manufacturing situation corrected and resupply its track products (code 55 due in November). Bob models the Conrail Shared Access system in southern NJ (without the A frame Paulsboro bridge that dumps Hazmat tank cars into Mantua Creek).
TimHar47 was the next stop. Tim is modeling the PRR Middle Division with a Lehigh Valley interchange.
Next on to John's house and a lesson in how to build a layout without track. While waiting for a slow boat from China (code 80 flextrack) John is laying out the scenery in his 12'z28' layout room (drool, drool!). John is modeling NS in Virginia and Kentucky.
And then back to my place (PRSL early 1950s) where we finally put Mr. Reach Police (epumph - always concerned about being able to reach train wrecks in the far corner) in his rightful place (an access hole near the Camden Pavonia yard).
