Hanging Yard Construction
Completed Photos
COMPLETED: 8/23/01
The following photos illustrate the Completed Hanging Yard.
Initial planning stages began way back in December of 2000, with
actual construction beginning June of 2001. Due to the lack of
scenery (the M-Yard is a functional storage yard
rather then a prototypical model like the H-Yard), work
proceeded fairly quickly, especially with the help of Skip Densing,
a fellow member of the JLS Railroad. Although no where near as
complex as the H-Yard, construction took the better part of 3
months, finally being completed Thursday, August 23, 2001.
I would just like to take this time to thank all those who
helped during the construction of the Hanging Yard, you know
who you are. In particular, I'd like to thank Skip Densing. Skip
showed up just about every Thursday evening throughout the summer
and played an intrical part in the construction. Without his
expert help, we'd still be on the planning stages. Thanks Skipper.

The basic dimensions are 4 feet wide by 12 feet long. The lead
switches can be seen in the background and the bumpers are just
out of view in the foreground. The interchange with the Helix
is located towards the left hand side of the picture.
