Hudson Central RR in Poughkeepsie, NY is one of the finest S scale
layouts I've seen. The layout, shaped in an L, uses a minimum of
space and runs point to point on one level with plenty of
opportunities for realistic switching operations. The trackwork is
code .100 with open frog turnouts. Stan's specialties are
scratchbuilding, kitbashing and fine scale detailing. You can send

Stan
Stokrocki at his Hudson Central S scale layout.
A view of one of the industrial sidings.
Stan uses horizontals and angles to create a forced
perspective of greater depth. The actual depth of the layout
is two feet.
Note all the turnouts in this photo. This view
provides a sense of the elaborate switching operations that
are possible on this point to point layout.
Stan often assigns teams to a switching task. It's like
solving a puzzle to figure out how to move the freight to a
given location and remove the empties on limited trackage
rights.
This is the Triangle Manufacturing Co. Stan kitbashed
this beauty by stacking two Kibri HO factories on top of
each other and adding other detail parts. Detailing is a
specialty of Stan's.
