Steve’s FJ&G Layout

 

Steve's awesome FJ&G Layout was featured in the February 2004 issue of RailModel Journal. Sadly, Steve demolished this great Layout in 2004. The good news is that Steve is building a Mohawk Valley layout that will include the FJ&G. Here are some of my favorite scenes from Steve's old Layout...


Number 20 passes Johnstown Leather with 2 hoppers of coal a tanker and a caboose. Wow, look at that pile of coal!


Crossing a street in Johnstown


One of my favorite views, an ALCO S2 is crossing the High-Bridge over the Cayadutta Creek...


Another view, this one equally as stunning. Steve has kept this part of his layout intact, hopefully for future consideration...


I think you can tell that I really enjoyed Steve's bridge-work. This scene acurately portrayed a coal-house in Johnstown and a double-trestle over the Cayadutta Creek...


Here's a scene from Steve's first FJ&G Layout. This is a Delaware-Otsego inspired shot. Steve would later go on to model the FJ&G in the 1950's, a time well before the DO, but timely enough to feature Steam and The 44-Tonner...


Here's the great-looking Johnstown Leather Scene.
