Dave Ramos' NY Harbor

Event
Type When Spots
Op Session  4/19 8:30am to 12:30pm 11 spots

This is one of the more interesting layouts to operate on. Based on the West Side of Manhattan in 1955, Dave models the carfloat-served waterfront terminals of the Erie RR at 28th St and the Lehigh Valley RR at 27th St.

He also models NY Central's 33rd St Yard and the famous NYC High Line to St John's Park freight terminal. Both are served by the unmodeled 72nd St Yard (staging).

Erie 28th St, LV 27th St, and NYC 33rd St all work the block-long Terminal Stores warehouse, coordinating their access to not interfere with each other - a practice that is not often modeled.

Sessions have the energy and density of New York City and you have to hustle to keep up. It is a lot of fun and you leave with a real sense of accomplishment at the end of a session.
