One of the largest swaths of my Hanley Spur HO layout is the central peninsula on which I've situated CN's Wellington Street freight shed and trackage extending through the scene to CLC and the Kingston Shipyards. But how best to utilize this fertile, fallow space? Today, I made some changes! The opening portal to the layout, nominally Place d'Armes is right at this corner, and the continuous loop (foreground, top photo) and track to the freight shed (curving, top photo) are very visible. Actual billboard and signage taken from vintage photos set the stage.
Place d'Armes, comprising paper, modelling clay and wooden timbers now opens the way to the peninsula, as CN 3120 'heads for the shed'. That grey structure will soon become the Bajus Brewery (above). Compare to last year's video capture in which Millard & Lumb occupied this space adjacent to Sowards Coal. Millard & Lumb, too, has been relocated to a more prominent place:
At road level, 3120 passes some sectionmen with Millard & Lumb and Sowards' visible down the track. I'm looking forward to showing more of life on Wellington Street through this portal.
