More Pictures of Michel's D&H RR

Here are some scenes along Michel's beautiful Delaware and Hudson layout. Michel has chosen to model the Adirondack Branch of the D&H. His layout was the feature story and cover photo for the September 2004 issue of Railroad Model Craftsman. By referring to that article, you will be able to locate the photos on his layout plan.

The scene above shows some work equipment housed on a siding nestled in a valley at North River.
This Delaware and Hudson unit train is spotted at the Glen on its approach to North Creek.


Passengers aboard this RDC-2 car have arrived the tiny station at Sanford Lake at the former location of Tehawus. From here, the train will pierce a tunnel in the wall and enter the newest portion of the layout tastefully running along the walls of the crew lounge.


Climbing the grade out of North River, this train is making its way to Sanford Lake with the further destination of Tehawus in mind.
These units are working the far end of North Creek yard as another freight holds the passing siding near the cliff wall.


Sanford Lake is a busy logging area and these two units are kept occupied shunting traffic in and around the facilities located here.


This rock cut is perhaps the landmark location on Michel's layout...an incredible railfan location!
