This one can be modeled on a table top!<\/p>\n<cite>Railroad Model Craftsman, February 1950<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea to build a model railroad layout centered around the Harlem River evolved gradually. I started model railroading two years ago, when my dad moved out from his house and I packed up his N scale layout he built in the 1990ies. His layout disappeared in storage but I kept a few locomotives, some passenger and freight cars as well as some sectional Minitrix track. His rolling stock was fairly old, lacked DCC and was not running smoothly anymore. Soon, I would buy new material on my own. I began working on a modular dog-bone kind of layout using mostly sectional Code 80 track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A year later I ended up having 4 modules that connected would give me a 3 by 12-foot layout. Except, there was no place large enough in our Manhattan apartment to integrate all modules at once. Let alone to keep them in place for a few days. It became soon clear to me that I had ended up in a dead-end and that I needed a different approach for my hobby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tim Warris&#8217; Bronx Terminal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While designing the last of my modules I chose a layout that could no longer be laid with sectional track. To make it work, I had to build my own turnouts and to connect them with flex track. While evaluating the different options for hand laid track and hand built turnouts I came across Tim Warris\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.handlaidtrack.com\">Fast Tracks<\/a> website, his stunning blog on the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bronx-terminal.com\">CNJ (Central Railroad of New Jersey) Bronx Terminal<\/a>. Tim&#8217;s site led me to Philip M. Goldstein&#8217;s web page on the <a href=\"http:\/\/members.trainweb.com\/bedt\/indloco\/crrnjbxt.html\">CNJ Bronx Terminal<\/a>. I was fascinated from the beginning. And hey, living in Manhattan\u2019s Upper East Side, it was almost in my neighborhood! It took me a while, though, to convince myself that this freight yard \u2013 which unfortunately disappeared in the 1960ies \u2013 could be something worth modeling. I could find only few references of modelers who built the Bronx Terminal apart from Tim Warris. Furthermore, most of the material I found pointed to HO scale models. Being a N scale modeler it would have to be in N scale. The beauty of it was, however, that it was a self-contained well documented freight yard, one of the several pocket terminals in the Bronx. As a model, it would be small enough to fit into our apartment, and it had enough challenges to keep me busy with my hobby for a while. And if I\u2019d ever complete the CNJ Bronx Terminal it could be extended as the Harlem River provides enough prototypical material for more model railroading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Complex Track Work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before I convinced myself that I should model the CNJ Bronx Terminal I wanted to be sure that N scale hand laid track work would be feasible for me. Having built a few turnouts using Fast Tracks\u2019 great tools and instructions, I knew that simple #6 turnouts were straightforward to do. This project was more than just a bunch of turnouts, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tracks are all organized around an inner oval concentric to the circular freight house and an outside run-around track (literally!) from which would run 14 spurs used as team tracks towards the East side. The NW corner has a triple diamond crossing with two tracks leading to a transfer bridge in the Harlem River, and the spur tracks on the East side are all connected to the outer track by 3-way turnouts. The icing on the cake is a wye-shaped quadruple diamond crossing between the fourth and fifth pair of tracks. Very few of the turnouts follow a standard so Fast Tracks\u2019 fixtures cannot be used (their templates may help, though).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To reassure myself, I built a simple 45-degrees crossing. It worked much better than expected, looked great and was fully functional from the beginning. My decision was taken, I\u2019d build a 1:160 scale copy of the CNJ Bronx Terminal without any selective compression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-499 size-medium\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"196\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.harlemrivercrossways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/CNJ-Bronx-Terminal_1200x784.jpg?resize=300%2C196&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Central Railroad of New Jersey Bronx Terminal in 1944\" class=\"wp-image-499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.harlemrivercrossways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/CNJ-Bronx-Terminal_1200x784.jpg?resize=300%2C196&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.harlemrivercrossways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/CNJ-Bronx-Terminal_1200x784.jpg?resize=768%2C502&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.harlemrivercrossways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/CNJ-Bronx-Terminal_1200x784.jpg?resize=1024%2C669&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.harlemrivercrossways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/CNJ-Bronx-Terminal_1200x784.jpg?resize=459%2C300&amp;ssl=1 459w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.harlemrivercrossways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/CNJ-Bronx-Terminal_1200x784.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">From: Michael Krieger, Where Rails Meet the Sea (1998)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you live in an apartment or otherwise find your model railroad space limited, take heart brother, there is somewhere a prototype to meet your needs.
