Cover: Much of the action on The Ironbound takes place in the heavy industrial yard at East Newark. This view from yard throat shows CNJ "Baby-face" Baldwin DR-4-4-15 accelerating outbound. An elevated section of Jersey Turnpike looms in background. (Photo location #6 on the trackplan) Centerspread: The Ironbound is by no means a large O Scale layout, so techniques were developed to create big-looking scenes in small spaces. This view captures the general look of tight quarters and clutter found on The Ironbound. The Dutch Boy Paint factory actually has only two sides and is carefully blended into the background photo-mural. (Photo location #15 on the trackplan) O Scale Trains Features 6 The Ironbound Railroad Andy Romano squeezed a lot of O Scale into a limited space. 15 A Tale of Two Rail & Tie Cars Tom Houle finishes the second of two car projects. 21 O Scale Influences: Bay State Models A 30 year Massachusetts tradition closes.
