Overview of the New York, New Haven and Hartford
Bill AldrigeDescription
The New Haven layout is designed as a circle around the edge of the room. This is because Bill’s primary interest in the layout was reproducing scenes along the New Haven shore line, which he is very familiar with. He also wanted a relatively simple layout and not a lot of peninsulas which require tremendous amount of maintenance work. The basement in which layout resides is 50 by 35 foot space. He completed it in only three years after the original version was torn down after 20 years. The minimum radius is 50 inches with flex track and the benchwork is made of 2 by 4’s bolted to the wall. The tour around the layout will start in Providence, Rhode Island.
