New Jersey short line plans
Posted by 2002p51 on Friday, December 11, 2020 9:31 AM

This question is probably for Steve Otte or anyone on the MR staff. Several years ago on MRVP there was a series called "Working on the Railroad" (or something like that) that featured a short line in New Jersey. It ran for two or three episodes. I think that subsequently there was an artice about desinging a track plan based on that railroad in either MR or Model Railroad Planning. Can you please point me to that issue? Thanks.

 Morristown & Erie. Don't think they did an article on the plan, there's a 3D rendering on MRVP. There was an article in the 2019 Great Model Railroads, but it's a freelance, not the actual M&E.

The M & E is also in the MR trackplan database. My Ohio Valley & Northern (presently under constructin), is a rough version of that plan. My space is approximately the same as that shown on the M & E track plan.
