Just thought Id share a few photos of my layout Ive been building the past year, its a loose version on the Maybrook between Hopewell Jct, and Maybrook, foutunatly through the years Ive been able to work with a few old New Haven conductors that worked the maybrook when i worked for conrail, and have come across some pictures, and slides of this segment of railroad, that has been gone for my existance, I grew up in Poughkeepsie, and was 1 when the bridge burned but was always facinated with this line, so it was difficult to model it when its all gone!! But at least I can see 4 U-25-B's go through Highland! I want to thank many of the readers of the NH post here for answering many questions I had regarding train symbols, etc. It helped me out a lot. Please feel free to comment, or if you or anyone you know had ANY photos, movies, slides of the Maybrook in the 60's-70's that are willing to share them please get a hold of me!!!! If anyone wants to see more pics Ill post them, keep in mind its still under "construction"!! Thanks again and enjoy. Dave Magill
