Aerial Photo of Chicago - 1938
Here is an aerial photo of Chicago from 1938 showing the myriad yards and lines from about 500 north (Illinois St.) to 2400 south (24th St.) and from the lakefront to about 1000 west (Sangamon St.).
HOn3 25-Ton Class B Climax - scratch, bash or forgetaboutit?
So as I’m researching possible central Pennsylvania early 1900s prototypes to model, it seems that the narrow gauge railroads that are of the most interest to me all ran Climaxes in the 25- to 35- ton range. The White Deer & Loganton, Eagles Mere Railroad, Lewisburg & Buffalo Valley, Susquehanna & Eagles Mere and the Laurelton Lumber Company all ran Climax locomotives in the 25-ton range.
So... I gotta have one if at all possible.
This blog will be where I keep research, beg for help, document a build or bash, and beg for help. :)
Frank Jones Brewing Company plans needed
I have redesigned my Portsmouth, NH area for which I will soon begin to lay track. A major focus of the redesign will be the Frank Jones Brewing Company. I have started research online, but photos are not plentiful and anything showing actual building footprints so far has been elusive.
Keeping in mind this is N scale, I am planning a pretty large area. I have roughly 32"x20" or the equivalent of somewhat more than 420'x260' for the complex inclusive of track.
