I outlined in a previous post my thoughts about "friends corner" and started the area with Nancy's Diner. Now comes a second addition to the area behind the Freytag Engine Facility, Heyl's Classic Cars.
Ken Heyl is a good friend from Ashland, Ohio, and largely responsible (or to blame?) for my getting involved in building a model railroad. His first love is railroading, but a close second is classic cars. Ken owns both a virtually-all-original '68 Plymouth Road Runner, and a '40 Buick funeral car which has the body by the Flxible Company of nearby Loudonville, Ohio. He shows one or the other of the cars at "cruise ins" once or twice weekly throughout the summer. Ken is also the "designer" of Heyl Interlocking on the lower level of the Paducah and Lake Erie. Featured in the window here is a '55 Chevrolet Bel Air. Two buildings remain to be named in this small area.
These "named" places join previously introduced James Creek Railway, named for David James, owner of Brecksville Road Transit (BRT) of Brecksville, Ohio. In a previous P&LE iteration in Ohio, the James Creek was a short line to the coal mines. Here, the mines are off line, and the two power units will work the coal tipple and yard.
