Ten Minutes on the Broadway Lion

Model Railroader Layouts and layout building
1

I posted a video of my layout on YouTube. I takes about ten minutes to view. One train runs from 242nd Street to “South Ferry” and then a second train runs from “Chambers Street” back to Van Cortlandt Park at 242nd Street. Very Little actually senic detail is completed, and much of what is completed is not really visible from these camera angles, but it does put the size and shape of my layout in perspective. It also puts into perspective how much work I have yet to do on it. As yet, most of the construction technique is visivble. It might not be up to MR standards, but it does work, and as you can see it runs rather smoothly too.

Uh, wow.

That’s really amazing, and there’s a tremendous amount of excellent work already. Are you planning to enclose a lot of the subway tunnels?

And how many sets of those P2K subway trains do you have? (Sorry if I’m all questions, but I don’t come across a fellow subway modeller every day.)

Are you a transplanted New Yorker, by the way? I grew up on Long Island, and the subways have always held a fascination for me.

Again, great work. Please keep posting.

It looks great. Unfortunately, the video seems to begin to load, then to play, and then stops playing. I can get it started, but only for a few seconds. [%-)]

Great layout and video. The sound impressed me since I am a former New Yorker. How did you get the subway sound?
