Hoboken/Weehawken water front question...

[pa3de8]

Since I'm returning to the hobby after a 20 year hiatus, I was wondering if anyone knows where I might be able to view some reference photos so I can start planning my layout?

Any information is greatly appreciated.

You may have already found this, but it's got some terrific maps and photo's on it.. enough that I'm going to give it more than just the cursory look I gave it a few minutes ago, once I have some time.

Yes...

I was given that URL by member from another forum board. It does have some good photos on that site. Certainly the best I've seen so far.

Thank you...

The HBS is a neat prototype. I've designed a couple of layouts based on the Hoboken Shore -- both for the same fellow. One is for a room in a new house that he is having built, but in the meantime, he's working on a shelf layout in the old house until the new house is finished.

You can read more and see a detailed trackplan here.

Thanks Byron...

That's a nice little layout you have designed there. I am thinking on a larger scale project of that area back in the 50's & 60's. I would like to incorporate Hoboken/Weehawken/Edgewater into it....
