A modeler created a very nice NYC early era EL Structure and cars in "N" Scale

THIS posting shows how Tibor created in N Scale, a near exact replica of a prototype Elevated Line Switch & Signal Tower House -- modeled after the original one located at W. 136th Street and 9th (now Columbus) Avenue along the IRT 9th Avenue EL in Manhattan.  that EL is gone since being closed and torn down back in 1941.  But Tibor liked the tower he saw in some old photos and decided to create a model of it.

So here BELOW are some photos of it under construction & finished ! And the last two show the actual tower on the IRT 9th Avenue EL

Note: IRT =  " Interborough Rapid Transit " (Company)

See the next following posting showing Tabor's so far completed EL and City scene segments

The next section here contains photos of the basic first section of Elevated structure and a station that is completed, along with City street scenes being constructed and added -- some are amazing scenes and all in tiny  N SCALE !

And now here on this posting -- are some night scenes, some of his N Scale huge buildings,  and other scenes including some of the N Scale NY Subway & EL car models created for this EL !! Well, hope you enjoyed this tribute to Tibor Balint,  who resides in Malaysia -- and has created this faithful representation of long ago and now long gone old early system (1878 thru 1905)  original EL systems of NY City.  I am fully impressed !

AMAZING does not begin to describe the incredible and detailed craftsmanship that produced the el structures, buildings and train cars in the tiny N Scale format! Tibor is indeed a MASTER MODELER of the first order! WOW and BRAVO!

Tibor represents the very definition of MODEL RAILROADER. Compared to Tibor, the rest of us mere mortals just play with trains! LOL!

I would add that you, Mr. Frank, would be an unquestionable  close second to Tibor with your exquisite craftsmanship! :-)

THANK YOU for sharing Tibor's incredible work!

This is amazing work for any scale but N scale is steps above even that. Truly incredible modelling. I only wish I had a tenth of his talent.

Thank you Joe for bringing this great talent to the forefront.

Hello Tinplate Art --  and David1

Thanks much for your comments on Tibor's work.  More amazing is that he lives in Maylasia - not the USA or NY City !!    For the tiny size of N Scale - I am astounded not only at Tibor's skills and eye for details.... and clean modeling.  But more so that he has adopted a slice of NY City that is long gone from the city since the 1937-1955 period of the last of the once 4 Manhattan El lines. The last coming down in mid to late 1955 (3rd Ave EL)

I am sure Tibor will appreciate reading your comments - even though he is not a member of OGR Forum.

Hello guys

Tibor has taken a few more photos -- stunning N scale modeling scenes -- see below for yourself --   ENJOY !!  --- Regards - Joe F

Beautiful work! :-)

Spectacular!  Thanks for posting these.

The attention to detail is phenominal. Wonder if this unusually creative gentleman is a dentist or surgeon? Both professions require a high degree of manual dexterity.

Here is the newest - latest fine detail photos from Tibor Balint (of Maylasia !) of his N Scale NY City based "EL" -- below is a nice curved shot at trackside

BELOW is a nice overhead view of a station -- mainly replicated the long gone IRT 6th Avenue 2-track El and stations.
