[w41] The future.

Take any photo that depicts the future...either for you or for society. Happy hunting and hope it's not too hard! Be creative!

 

The future of Clifton on the Queens County Model Railroad Association's HO scale (1/87) layout is represented by the pictures on the boxes and a partially painted and assembled kit. The white cylinder to the right of the tan building is a rolled up piece of paper showing the height of the future dingy Parkview Apartments. The piece of paper barely visible to the right of that is the plan for the area. I didn't manage to show it, but there will be a connection between what's sold as the "Bralick Building" and "Heritage Furniture" on the second floor, above Half Street.

 

The dark green locomotive with yellow stripes is CNJ 1506, a Fairbanks-Morse H-15-44 pulling a train of milk from Kingston toward Jersey City. The green and black loco is LS&I 3074 switching Schneider Yard in Jersey City. A CVP EasyDCC XR1300 Throttle is seen in a mouse pocket screwed to the side of the layout.
