WELL AFTER THE ARTICLE IN O GAUGE RAILROADING MAGAZINE RUN# 220 AUG/SEPT ISSUE, YOU THINK DON WOULD SLOW DOWN? NEVER !!!! HIS EVER GROWING LAYOUT IS DOING JUST THAT, "EVERGROWING" BUT HE SENT US A FEW PHOTOS THAT WE LIKE TO SHARE ON HIS LITTLE AREA OF OUR SITE. SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO..... HERE IS PAGE SEVEN FOR DON AND HIS BELLEVUE & SCHENECTADY R.R.
THE PHOTO TAKEN HERE DON SAID WAS TAKEN FROM THE "DONOBLIMP" WITH JIM POLICASTRO AT THE CONTROLS. THIS PHOTO IS LIKE AN OLD FRIEND TO US HERE BECAUSE WE SEE SO MANY OF THE BUILDINGS WE MADE FOR DON. IN THE PHOTO FROM RIGHT TO LEFT WE HAVE SEATON'S BUTCHER, TOWNE TV , THE PARKER INN, THE PROCTOR THEATRE, PARAGON CLEANERS/ HI-SPRITS LIQUORS, DAVIDSON BUILDING, OLENDER'S AND TO THE RIGHT MIKEY'S SEA SWIRL AND THE GOLDEN DRAGON RESTAURANT. IN THE CENTER IS THE NEW YORK CENTRAL STATION (NO WE DIDN'T MAKE THAT ONE) THAT MARIA AND I LOVE SO MUCH !
THE NYC & HR R.R. STATION IN DOWNTOWN SCHENECTADY IS TAKING HOLD NOW ON THE LAYOUT. ALSO IN VIEW ARE THE CARL Co. AND THE WALLACE ARMER HARDWARE BEHIND THE STATION AND THE NEWSSTAND, ELLIS HOSPITAL, THE FOSTER BUILDING AND THE GLEASON BUILDINGS DOWN THE BLOCK. GREAT THAT HIS O SCALE PEOPLE CAN UNBOARD THEIR TRAINS AND GO SHOPPING WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF EVERYTHING !
ANOTHER VIEW OF THE NYC & HR R.R. STATION WITH THE WALLACE ARMER , NEWSSTAND AND CARL Co. IN VIEW. AND YES THE CLOCKS AT EACH SIDE OF THE STATION DO WORK AND CAN COME OFF TO CHANGE THE BATTERIES INSIDE THEM ! YOU CAN TELL FROM THE PHOTO BUT THE STATION HAS A COMPLETE INTERIOR WITH TICKET AGENTS, WAITING ROOM AND HANGING LIGHTS ! MORE TO COME SOON AS SOON AS DON CAN CATCH HIS BREATH ! HE IS A BUSY MAN THESE DAYS BUT ALWAYS HAS TIME FOR HIS FAMILY AND TRAINS !
