I’m going to start working on building my first layout soon, involving the New York Central RR.
I love looking at layout pictures, and could use some ideas, so I’m looking for anybodys layout pictures. I would really like to see a NYC railroad, but I would like to see anyone’s work or work in progress.
Thanks![:p]
Mine is sure work in progress, Backwards!!! Took it apart to add extensions and just finishing the benchwork this weekend.
A few photo’s on the railimages link below

Just follow the links at the botom, This is club layout not complete as far as scenery just got it up and running after 5 years of setting dorment.Terry
Well, not NYC, but built on an ex-NYC /PC line. In fact the railroad has begun to more backward in time so that I can run more NYC equipment. See the East Central Indiana RR http://cid.railfan.net/eci_new.html
Also, you might want to take a look at my Railroads of Madison County http://madisonrails.railfan.net/ for prototype info (stories and photos) on the Big Four part of the NYC.
NYCentral1,
I included the following on your “Getting Started” post but don’t know if you ever got to see it.
You can check out the link below my picture. I’m just starting out on my layout so it’s still got a ways to go. I’m trying to model the 30’s and early '40’s - early steam/diesel transition. The freight house colors are my best approximation of what I have found in reference books.
As you can see by the pics, I have both a 2-8-2 Mikado and an ALCO S1 switcher in NYC. Both are VERY nice locomotives and DCC-ready. The Mike is made by Athearn; the switcher, Proto 2000. The diesel can still be had from Trainworld.com for $29.99 (reg. $110 MSRP). The detailing is terrific and it’s a sweet lil’ runner.

Ive got pictures of my layout on railimages. Pretty much just mains right now but click the link in my signature and take a look.
It’s not NYC but…

As of this posting i’m 5 feet near completion of Main #2 and 2 feet from completion of Main #1. I have 2 spurs added so far in my swithcing district. but only has littel bit of track
Check out the link in my signature. It’s not NYC, but I try to keep it up to date with progress photos.

My BRVRR seems to be morphing into a branch of the NYC. I have pictures of the layout, rolling stock, engines and a few other things of interest on my website. The link is in my signature.
Your more than welcome to visit my picture web storage at the link below. It is a bit cluttered, but is a chronology of the layout from an empty garage to present.
Glad to have you!
