New York and Long Branch, NY&LB in HO

Hello fellow modelers. It's been a while since I last posted here but progress continues on my NY&LB layout.

Trains have been running over the completed half and track de-bugging has slowed down as most of the issues involving the trackwork have been resolved. I've now turned to the scenery on the upper level with much anticipation.

I'm beginning construction of the Shark River rolling lift bridge after just completing the Sylvania Avenue wood overpass. The Shark River Bridge will be similar to the completed Manasquan bridge shown below. I plan to finish up much of the upper level scenery before moving to the lower level.

You can visit my construction log at my NY&LB web site. Hope everyone is having a great summer!

Nice job! I always wanted a completed model of BRIELLE the draw bridge on the manasquan river. I would still love to come down and see your layout in person sometime. It looks fantastic.

hello all...

It's been a while since I posted any updates on the forums, but I thought I would let anyone interseted know that my layout will be open for visits on Sunday October 26th between 9am and 2pm.

This is in conjunction with the annual New Jersey Layout Design/Operations SIG and RPM Meet that weekend. Ifn anyone wants to stop by, just shoot me and email and I'll provide directions.

Oh nice, glad to see you are still around and still working on it. If I am free that weekend I would love to stop by and finally see it!

When I saw there was a NY&LB layout on the list, I suspected it would be yours! I'll try to stop in as well!

Hi everyone -

I can't believe its been over three years since I last posted on this forum! Work continues on my NY&LB and the pace has been picking up some since I have started on scenery at the Bay Head loop and yard. Shown below, the middle loop forest is well under way.




I'll try and check back more often. Hope everybody has a great Holiday!!

Wow i was wondering what happened to you. I am back living down the shore again too.

Everyone - I just want to announce that I started construction - finally! - on the second half of my NY&LB layout. This half encompasses the Long Branch to South Amboy section.

Anyone who's interested after ten plus years of construction can follow the new posts at nyandlb.com

I'll try to post more here as progress moves forward. Happy Holidays all!
