Well I made it back. According to the "You Last Visited: it was 12/31/1969! I guess this was a Time Warp. [] Bill
I am not sure I am a New Haven fan but I am a fan of David Popp's N scale Naugatuck Valley layout as covered in April Model Railroader. I have been keeping a thread going on the trains.com website about the layout for about a month. I have 2 New Haven cars on my Santa Fe layout. One is a State of Maine insulated box which I can use to deliver potatoes to a produce terminal. The other is a New Haven gondola. I plan to use it to deliver brass ship's propellers (I guess they were/are manufactured in Connecticut) to a shipyard on the Texas Gulf Coast.
