Harlem Ave. and Weldbend |
Description: |
The two coil cars are on the spur to Weldbend, while the train is passing under Harlem. After doing this mock up, I found that I'll actually need to move the overpass about 1' closer to the camera to avoid having any switches underneath it. |

Harlem Ave. |
Description: |
The 585 is switching Weldbend, while the rest of the train is on the spur to CPC Argo and the IHB. In addition, I just received blueprints for the bridge here, so I'll start scratchbuilding it shortly. BTW, that VW that's driving uncomfortably close to the lumber truck is a model of my current car. |
