Dorcie,

First class!

Have you sorted out the signal system?

New Haven passenger Station looks very much like the real thing.  I assume that's West Rock or East Rock, not a mountain? West Rock Judge's Cave is where the regicide judges Whalley and Goffe hung out for a while, having fled to the colonies, hiding from royal informers,  after the Restoration of Charles II.  Perhaps an O gauge panther chasing them would fit in?    

That is looking terrific, I'd love to see that when completed.  You guys do fantastic work.

Thanks for sharing.

You guys have done a terrific job duplicating the station in New Haven!

Looks outstanding Dorcie!  You’ve also got me wracking my brain trying to think of which retired CSX executive would have a recreational interest in the New Haven. 😉

Peter, thank you for the photograph of the prototype!  

Dorcie, Roger, and Company, The rendition your are doing for this gent's layout is selectively compressed to give the exact feel of the prototype!  Excellent job!!

Great representation on New Have Station.

Indeed - Roger used East Rock and also let me know that there will be a coaling tower that'll be added to layout - apparently the real coaling tower is still there - just East of East Rock Cool history you shared - being from New Mexico I wasn't aware of the West Rock Judge's Cave!

Last month, we had a visitor to our McGowan St. Studio here in Dallas, Tom Krens, who is working on a massive project in North Adams, MA: Extreme Model Railroad and Contemporary Architecture Museum and his comment as he saw the TW TrainWorx New Haven Station model was... "Ha, I just left from that station... looks just like it." Well... that was a most excellent testimonial to receive and bodes well for future collaboration

Have a Super Traintastic Day!

Hi Lou! Yes - the 67 signals were removed while ballasting/landscaping going on so now the task is getting them plugged back in and signaling! It's a huge on taking!

That's some great work!

And that Mountain is a real Butte!  

BTW, is it possible though this "ex-CSX Executive" is a Steven Spielberg fan as well?

Finally, Since this layout is in a"Nutmeg state", what about the 1970's- 1980's "Pullmans on the Hill" that overlooked the NH mainline! Is the owner going to model that as well?

Wicked!

No to Pullmans on the Hill 

Close Encounters happening... now  - Have a good one!
