Amazing work! When I was a kid I decided that if I couldn't be a fighter pilot then I would be a freight train driver. Neither of those careers happened... for the record!
I was very fortunate. As a kid (and to this day) I revered the New Haven. I hired on the New Haven in 1968, eventually I achieved my goal to become a locomotive engineer and retired in 2012 as sup't. of operations. A wonderful 44 year career. Unfortunately we lost the NH to Penn Central in 1969.
Well it's nice to see there is another New Haven "train nut" on this site, your layout looks exceptional. I always thought the EP-5 was a beauty but the Alco PA in McGinnis colors is my favorite. What end of the New Haven do you model? If you look at my stuff here on iModeler you'll see my NH Pawtucket Station in "N" gauge I scratch built.
Exquisite workmanship, sir...nicely done.
Rick, beautiful work!
Thank you, gentlemen. Appreciate your kind compliments.
Outstanding, Rick!

Mike:
I model the electrified zone between New Haven and Devon, part of The Maybrook and Naugy.
I'll check-out your N Gauge model.
I just added 2 new photos of my layout above with the others.
