Anyone here modeling the Long Island Railroad?

[txronharris]

Have a good friend that wants to get into model railroading and wants to model the Long Island Railroad since his grandfather and great grandfather worked for them. I’ve been looking around and that equipment is few and far between. Thinking a shelf layout that focuses on the freight aspects of the LIRR. I’ve cross posted this in the HO forum since he thinks he’s going to to N but may go to HO. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, it is in the Layout Engineering Reports section;

@txronharris , Pete linked to my layout.  While the layout is fictional, there are major PRR and LIRR elements to the layout. As I get older, I am scaling back on my PRR equipment and am going to start collecting/converting some of my stuff to LIRR from a Locomotive roster standpoint.

These links will help you too. Be sure to follow all of the rabbit holes in there too!
