Jim Wanlass' Bronx Terminal on the Central Railroad of New Jersey HO Scale Module
Apr 21, 2024 #modelrailroad #hoscaletrains #modelrailroader
Jim Wanless from the Opher Tintic and Western Model Railroad Club is building the Bronx Terminal on the Central Railroad of New Jersey as an HO Scale Module.
It's an exact recreation of the prototype with no changes or compression with one major exception; He's moved it to the San Francisco Bay area.
The Central Railroad of New Jersey operated in the New York area, in this case, the Bronx, and built this unusual circular freight house in 1907 on the Harlem River at Third Avenue. Because of the tight space, they created this compact freight terminal which worked well with 40-foot center-door boxcars. A major problem is that it didn't work with longer boxcars, even the 50-foot cars. NO MATTER! Jim has total control over the facility!
Much of the freight arrived on rail barges from the Harlem River. Jim is modeling two such barges and the float bridge offloading system. There is also some complex trackwork and two overhead cranes.
Because Jim is from the Bay Area in California moved the facility there on the Southern Pacific Railroad. Jim!! Are palm trees coming?? Sorta hope not!
Been trying to throw my trains into a more coherent place. Haven't really figured out where to pick up traction, but I've also only been able to put out shorts until I get a full length video edited and figure out what and how I want to do things.
"Open without taking temperature or other safety. Model railroad, very non essential!!" –
