Construction Photos of the Philadelphia and Delaware County Railroad
This part of my layout's Web site can be considered a progress report on the construction of the Philadelphia and Delaware County Railroad. I will be adding pictures as the construction continues. Check in to see what I have been up to.
November 19, 2006		A shot of the W. J. Roberts coal trestle with a layer of hardshell. I placed a Keystone Coal & Coke Company hopper on the trestle to see how it looked. Some cleanup is needed on the trestle and more coal is to be added. Now to get started on the lumber sheds.
November 5, 2006		The facia has been mounted, but not painted. More screening has been put in place. Next step will be to put down an initial layer of plaster and prepare the lumber sheds.
October 29, 2006		Roughing in of the W. J. Roberts siding in Llanerch. I have removed some of the table top for the insertion of a coal trestle and started to create the contours for the scenery which will be hardshell over nylon screening. The W. J. Roberts Company was a coal dealer and lumber yard.
March 2, 2005		Another view.
March 2, 2005		The Pennsy shops are turning out some GLa hoppers.
March 2, 2005		Some rolling stock has begun to appear. Here are a couple of hoppers and a box car.
March 2, 2005		Wiring of the layout under the Newtown Square yard.
February 1, 2004		Here is the trackage entering Newtown Sqauare. All of the mainline track is in, and I am waiting for the arrival of additional track so that the sidings can be completed.
February 1, 2004		Track has been laid on the mainline connecting Grassland to Newtown Square. This picture looking back at Grassland shows that the track for the two sidings has yet to be laid.
January 26, 2004		Here we have a closer view of the ceremonial "Golden" push pin.
