Summer Break

For the upcoming weeks, Hedley-Junction will take a break while the layout room is refurbished. Some mechanical appliances are due to be replaced and a long due in depth cleaning will follow.

Meanwhile, we will focus our energy on our smaller layout project depicting Erie Railroad’s 149^th Street Harlem Station in New York City circa the mid-1950s. If you ever heard about Tim Warris’ Bronx Terminal, this is a similar prototype located in the same area but with a much more user-friendly track work.

You can follow this interesting endeavour at harlem-station.blogspot.com. Those familiar with the late Carl Arendt micro-layout website will remember this project was featured on his website in the early 2010s as a “reply” to Jack Trollope’s creative reinterpretation of this fascinating prototype. I’m pretty sure Carl would have been delighted to hear the layout is now in operation mode.
