Jackson & Burke Railroad

Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy my site.

Strong & Son


I ran across this old picture on Shorpy.  Washington, D.C., circa 1925. "F.G. Lindsay store front, Anacostia, 2215 Nichols Avenue."


Exterior of the grocery seen here.


Well, I was hooked.  


A "local" store, my time frame - this calls out for a model!


I started work in September 2014 and it went out on my layout in November 2014.

Jim Strong had a fantastic layout in Maryland and we operated there on several occasions.   His son, Kevin is also a diehard large scale model railroader that I have operated with on his Dad's layout.  

So, I decided to name the grocery store after the two of them.
