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 have built 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.
I am pleased to announce that Mauch Chunk is back at
the Barrowmore Model Railway Club. In 2025 it was the subject of two articles in the Continental Modeller magazine - check the
Articles
page. We also attended model railway exhibitions in York and Spalding
(where we won Best Layout).
