Your postcard there reminded me of this spot I got out of the car to explore, it seemed so peaceful, in Kirkwood, NY, between Routes 11 & 81.
Plus, I was about to model a stream and its environs, so I wanted to learn the details and the facts first-hand...

By some coincidence, Greencastle is located between Rt 11 & Rt 81, :wink: :wink: :wink:

Hmmm, one of those MTH 64' wooden coaches might make a decent start towards that model. The MTH 64' combine's baggage section might be too long if I remember it. I had wanted one to go with my two coaches to use as a local behind my E6.

The Alexander Models old time coach I have would have been a good starting point had I had the presence of mind to capture a side and end in RTV.

2 on each side on the lower level of the Clerestory roof offset from the center since the Dillsburg Branch was also a steam line and then 2 per side for out & back operations through switches and signals.
