Hi guys,
My name is Chris, (I usually go by the name Green_elite_cab elsewhere on the internets).
I'm from southern New Jersey, near Mount Holly. I am currently working on a Master Degree in Biotechnology at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, and I'll probably be graduated by May, so the end is in sight!
In general, I love modeling anything between Philadelphia and New York.
My specific modeling focus is the Northeast Corridor in northern New Jersey between Metropark and Waverly Yard, between 1978 and 1979.
I currently have a 4x8 layout that I built when I first started, and a Northeast Corridor module, starting with North Elizabeth station and then moving south from there.
I am part of two railroad clubs, the Burlington County Model Railroad Club in Cinnaminson, NJ, and the Heavy Electrics Modular Group.
The latter is probably of interest to you guys, since we focus on building 4-track NEC modules, and we're looking for more people to jump in. Most of us are in the Southern New Jersey/Southeastern PA area.
I also do a lot of research, and have a LOT of books and photos, and so i'm always willing to share if I have the knowledge.
Chris

Just curious what scale your working with and also here is a link that has some custom built layouts and a little ways down is a nice NEC N scale layout that was done. There are only 4 pics but you get the idea of what a NEC layout would look like. www.shelflayouts.com/photos.htm
