Modeling a Feed & Seed
Thought I would share some photos of a Feed & Seed building I built as part of a contest for Walthers. The kit included the Sunrise Feeds, Grain Elevator and Grain Dryer. I purchased the surge bin separately as I thought it would be a good addition the the facility. The story goes that it is the late 1960’s and in order to stay competitive the Feed & Seed has recently upgraded from reviving their material in only boxcars to now also being able to bring in material via covered hopper.

Finger Lakes Railway HO Scale Layout
My HO scale Finger Lakes Railway layout. Approximately 16 mile leg from the Himrod NY yard to Watkins Glen NY. We run to Watkins Glen to service the salt companies, and return to the yard a couple times a week. Waiting for my custom-detailed FGLK locos to arrive. In the mean time we are running leased NS power. 
Downsizing the Jersey Northern
I have decided to down size my layout, I have been reading about downsizing here on MRH for awhile. The existing layout takes up most of my one car garage and I need more storage space. The layout is double deck point to point J shaped with the helix at on end of the J. Each level has a 4 track yard and two staging tracks the lower level also has an additional one track staging inside the helix. I have fourteen industries and two engine servicing facilities. You can see the existing track plan on my web site, https://jerseynorthern.webs.com under (the layout).
