  Wow! 2010 Layout Challenge!

 

A real rave from the grave

 

them were the days. So much interesting stuff to re-read from them old back issues/archives.

And a nice Box Cab too!

 

Best, Pete.

Sorry to drag this out of the ancient RMweb deeper dungeons again - but I came across another (and TBH Better) version on the Big Blue site - and I thought this version deserved some exposure . The guy who built it is an architecht by profession so it is rather nice. There are a few more photos of my version here  http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/25093-erie-rr-east-149th-street-%E2%80%9Charlem-station%E2%80%9D/

 

 The vesion built by Mathieu Lachance is here  http://www.harlem-station.blogspot.co.uk/

It's a potential packed prototype whichever way you look at it. It appears as though the version by Mathieu Lachance has a bigger footprint than your own one Jack.

Thanks, Neil - I believe Mathieu's version is intended to include the part that had the Major Degan Expressway built up over it and also the buildings that actually existed within the layout - these were apparently removed prior to any photos that I managed to find so that allowed me to squeeze it down a little smaller. Another constraint with mine was building it to a size that would fit through the rear hatch door of a Ford Sport Ka. so it could have the main board in one piece - It was tight, believe me! .All now gone with a boxcab having gone to Mathieu, and two of them now in Germany
