LVRR Manchester NY yard

[daxtell]

I would like to model the Lehigh Valley yard that was in Manchester accurately, but can't find any maps of the yard. Can anyone suggest where I could find this information?
Regards,
Doug

Doug,
One possible source is the collection of historical USGS quadrangle maps at Maptech:
http://historical.maptech.com/index.cfm
Another source for current USGS maps and satellite photos is MicroSoft's Terraserver:
http://terraserver.com
If you have access to a library that can link to the Sanborn insurance maps that is another source. And, there is a recent thread in this forum about the valuation maps available at the National Archives:

If you haven't already been greeted, welcome to the MR Forums !

P.S. By any chance are you related to the Larry Axtell that used to live in Verona, NJ ?

Doug,

I may be able to help you. I have one. I bought it at a train show in Allentown a few years ago. The problem is, I don't know where it is. It is fairly large 30" x18" from what I remember. I moved, since I last saw it and I am not modeling that end of the RR so I have not had a reason to search for it. I will see if I can find it and let you know.
