(erielack) Freelance Prototype layouts

["Len VanderJagt" <lvj911_@_worldnet.att.net>]

My wife Carol & I show a 3' x 12' n-trak module named the Erie-Lackawampum, 
which strives to be representative in appearence and practice, but does not 
duplicate any one location. They are part of our home layout, overall size 
of 12' x20', which is largely in the track-laying and initial ground-forming 
stage. For their part, the modules have been awarded 2 national first place 
awards and a second, and are shown in N Scale Railroading magazine  July/Aug 
2004.

The central part of the layout includes a division point yard which is 
Hornell inspired, while the branch lines reflect the Sussex Branch, and the 
Wyoming Branch. What we are going for are scenes/vignettes that elict 
memories of the EL, and our experiences. To that end, unprototypical 
elements (what goes where, and how; time-frame authenticity) are verboten, 
but proper prototype representations are fine, even if not strictly true to 
specific location/arrangement.

Having fun.
