The Early Days at NJHR

I think the last 3 pictures are when Ben and I got there.

I was expecting to see dinosaurs roaming about; or maybe Thomas Edison.....

Good to see as I start cutting plywood for subroadbed.....

I always have to catch myself of getting overwhelmed and disgusted that things will never get done.  The best part of layout construction I think is to look back at the old pictures and say Wow what a difference.  Looks like your having fun

2003, wow!, where does the time go??!!

First time I saw the layout was fall 2007, and I thought it was finished it looked so good.  The way that the club and the layout have expanded and progressed is quite an accomplishment.

Good luck moving forward and I'm looking forward to my next visit!

Like watching history being made. Very very cool.

Ben, that photo of the transformers is most impressive.

John, whos bridges did you use back then, are those Atlas. I think that was before Bridge solutions?

Ben - what's your guesstimate of the total to date number of hours worked on the NJHR layout?

Sweat Equity!!!  Job Well Done!!!  I relish every trip to the Mecca of O-Gauge Model Railroading

About 8 months until Trainstock-2013

Hard work, persistence, and dedication always precedes the reward of success!  Ben, thanks to all of NJ HiRailers for contributing to this hobby. 

Have a great Holiday weekend.

Thanks, Brother Ben.... we got the roadbed cut, laid down and painted for the first level of track today..... It's the simplest level with tracks popping in and out when level two is in..... we also extended some additional L Girders..... Having a great time.....
