Thanks Chris.
It's getting there. Freight house needs a roof. I'm working on sidewalks and cobble stone streets. Then the work on the Frankford El which used to run up Front Street until sometime in the 1980's when they moved it a few blocks west.

It should be a great modeling project! What's the size of your layout? I'd love to see a trackplan. Are you on the Reading Railroad Modelers FB page? Things are sadly quiet 'round these parts!

This is the American Stores Warehouse.

I think I need to make a few of the pictures I have smaller in order to meet the maximum size requirement of Forum.
I have a few shots that will show overall track arrangement of this area. I will try to do this later today.
