Welcome.
This
web site keeps track of the
progress of
our
HO model of the CNJ station in old Mauch Chunk, PA in the late
1940s. Unusually,
we are building this in the UK!
After a visit to Jim Thorpe in
1996, we selected it as a subject and
started modelling it in 2002.
We have tried to copy the
prototype as far as possible using plans taken
from photos. All the material we have is
available on this website for you to share.
We welcome emails from CNJ fans and
fellow modellers. UK modellers are also welcome to contact us with a
view to operating at exhibitions.
We most recently exhibited the layout in the UK at
Warley - NEC (2019) - photos &
videos can be seen on the
Exhibition pages. We will be at the London Festival of Railway
Modelling, Alexandra Palace in March 2020.
Cheers

NEW!
What's new on the website.

We are now building the model in the
Barrowmore MRG clubrooms

It was moved from the
Merseyside Model Railway Society clubrooms in Autumn 2016 (entirely amicably!). |
