Welcome to the Official Guide to my personal 1:48 empire.
Now under construction on the western rim of Virginia's beautiful Shenandoah Valley.
NYS ConceptThis section is dedicated to the "Givens and Druthers" of the New York Southern and some of the key decisions made to satisfy those constraints. |
Layout DesignThe New York Southern has been in "design" phase for many years. This section documents the final design, the evolution (still going on) of that design, and some of the "issues" still being worked out. |
Progress ReportsThis section documents the progress in building the New York Southern. The Build Plan consists of six major "phases", covering the initial construction of the basement (and house), basement preparation, benchwork, the staging track level, wiring/control and finally the main track level. As of 10 January 2006 we are in Phase 3, the basement is complete and benchwork is under construction. |
ConnectionsLinks to suppliers, collaborators and other interesting sites that provide inspiration, guidance or just plain entertainment. |
