Re: (erielack) Mock-up Model of Lake Hopatcong Station
Bill,
That looks fantastic and it's only foam. I can't wait to see the finished product.

Hi fellow modelers,
As some of you know, I am modeling the DL&W in the Port Morris,NJ area in
the 1952-53 era in HO. For years, fellow lister Mike DelVecchio used to call my
pike the Delaware, Lackawanna and Lumber since it had no scenery:) I have
finally started the scenery using Styrofoam sheets laminated together to form
the contours. In order to work on the landscape contours at Lake Hopatcong, I
needed to mock-up some scale models of the station building, the pedestrian
walkway, elevator towers and Landing Road overbridge.
Thanks to Paul Tupaczewski's help with some current-day photos and actual
dimension of the station building and Landing Road bridge, I was able to do some
VERY rough mock-ups using scraps of the Styrofoam and scaling from various
photos in the Morning Sun books and photos purchased from Bob Pennisi.
If anyone out there has actual drawings of any of the Hopatcong buildings or
structures, I would appreciate hearing from you off-line. Any constructive
comments on the mock-ups are also appreciated!
