Knowledge Park and Rock Hill Phase II

 Jim continues to work on one of two additions to the 1953 model of Rock Hill, SC.  The focus is the "textile corridor" near downtown Rock Hill now being developed as "Knowledge Park".

The original section is downtown just up to what is now Dave Lyle, or just a bit to the northwest, thereof.  The second section will extend from current Dave Lyle to about halfway to Stewart Ave, and bounded by White Street on the southwest and the railroad tracks on the northeast.

Views from northwest, looking southeast with and without lights

The Cotton Factory with warehouses behind, looking from White Street on the southwest.

Cotton Factory owner's house (will need to confirm) on northeast corner of section.

A VERY neat boneyard!!  Must have taken a few watches to collect all those gears for N scale. . . .

Main parking lot.  Still probably a little small for a textile facility, but very good representation.  Seems the builder must like Clempson orange ;) 

Another bit of detail.  Note forklift (one of maybe 20 on this section) with straightened staples for forks and an operator with tie.

Remarkable work!

Builder needs to add some finishing touches and then get it out of the way to build Phase III.  These two phases are about 9X5', each.

Oh, and a movie of the switcher running between sense switches with a pause built in at

both ends.
