Cant find the Club?

I remember the entrance as this :

Excellent work, the mural is sure a vast improvement.

Agreed, the entrance is hard to find and it is hard to believe such a great club is hidden in that building. But, the mural will really help!

When we have events at our club alot of people said its hard to find   The little logo on the awning is fading so our benefactor Bernie decised to do something about it    He saw an artist painting a mural on a nearby building and asked to have a little mural done onthe side of ours to help people find the club   I think it looks awesome

That looks great Ben! Not gonna miss the door now.

Did you count the rivets for accuracy?

Bernie gave the artist an engine to copy from  I have to see which one he gave them so I can count the rivets  LOL

That's magnificent Ben, I hope the graffiti artists don't ruin it!

GREAT JOB

Fabulous, Ben. First-time visitors in particular will really appreciate it. No one can miss the door now.

2008 probably Sunday April 27 as we were on our way back from the Branford Trolley Museum's annual Members' day on Saturday the 26th.

Being there only once(for OGR's 50th), Allan Miller, his wife and I had no problem finding the building. Parking wasn't too bad either as I think we arrived at the right time. Regardless, no one should have any issues finding the club unless they're looking for a baseball bat or such. Bravo Ben.

Outstanding.

Now THAT'S how you make your presence known!

That certainly clears things up.

Bernie liked the first part so much that he contracted the artist to do the whole side of the first floor on 6th avenue    There will be a bridge and some more trains    Tomorrow is Bernies birthday  I guess he is giving himself a birthday present

For those of us who don't know about "The Club", what club is it and where is it?

The entrance looks awesome.  Great job!  NH Joe

Sorry Joe. It’s the New Jersey hirailers in Paterson New Jersey.  

Outstanding!

Nice addition to the club!  Now you don't have just an amazing layout, but a great building facade to match!

Next project a 1:48 scale replica to add to your layout.  Can be kinda of a "Where's Waldo" when kids (young or old) come to see your layout.  LOL

Now that's even better Ben. It will be great to see more of what is an already fantastic mural, to have more on the main drag will definitely help those that can't figure out where you guys are.

WOW!
