Hudson River Route (Warning Large Images)

[Zorronov]

Thanks! You would have to have some kind of handicap of course. Give freights on the River Line a head start maybe...



Cheers,
Fred

The freight trains are long distance runners and passengers trains are sprinters.

 

[Zorronov]

Sprinters...hmmmmm...like this one?

You're very welcome Fred. The Dreyfus is one of my favorites and I run it quite a lot.

May I ask where the good looking Amfleets came from?

 

[jacksonbarno]

They are old Magicland payware.

Nice shots Fred! How far are you planning to go towards Croton?

Yes they are some of Magicland's payware...he is sorely missed...

Thanks! I'm going just south of Peekskill on the eastern side and Tompkins Cove on the west.

Now this is fun!

Fred

 

[Zorronov]

Good thing that retaining wall is there...

Was the NYC main ever four tracks in the area that you are modeling, or am I thinking of a different area?

It's always been two track through here. There's some four track mainline both north and south of here.

Oh, I must have been thinking about a different part of the line then. Do you have an invisible track in the river for boats? I think that adding stuff like moving boats really adds to the route, especially because back in the day the Hudson was quite the maritime shipping route.

Also, I seem to remember a Trains On Location video about this area. I'l have to dig it up and watch it again!

 

[Zorronov]

Do you have an invisible track in the river for boats?

Yes...there are three invisible tracks in the river...

Absolutely great work there on the Hudson. The boat action is a nice add on to the route also. Zorronov, will there also be invisible tracks in the sky to fly helicopters and airplanes?

Put invisible tracks in the sky? Yep...it's on my list...
