The Adirondack Line

The Adirondack Line is being built by Malcolm Alberry in the UK and is in N scale in a room 15' by 15' It is set in the 1940 / 50 transistion and the cities and town tracks are taken from the original plans acquired from 3 years historical research.

It combines two main features..the NYC Water Level Route featuring the four track mainline from Herkimer to Utica, with a selective reduction of Utica Yard.

From Utica, the Adirondack line climbs through the lowlands to Remsen and then onwards through the mountains to Big Moose. The branch line from Carter is included to Raquette Lake.

Also, the O&W and DL&W connections are included in Utica.

The plan has interesting characteristics with the rule that all interchanges and connections must return to one of the two staging areas

This is a good example of the use of the ten different levels within XTrkCad and the inclusion of a helix.
