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?
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.
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.
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....
