The last video has something that is very interesting. The shot of the Q cars in the beginning is definitely a model An MTH model at that I believe its a shot of Joe Franks EL with MTH Q cars on it. What do you think?

Hello Ben F !!

I just came across the above a bit (2 years, heh) late !

YES - you are correct - that photo is the one from my various photos of my O-Scale NYC EL Layout . Surprised that Olsen, heh, who most likely knew it, didn't respond to your question !!!- And in this over 2 years time, heh no one else ! Here is that same photo from my files.

AND - Here are a few more IRT Q Types scenes on my EL for you !

Regards !! - Joe F
