All I Have Learned About Superstreets

Sending email. Thanks Art

Lee, sending email to you. Looking forward in reading you documents.

Thanks Lee! I received it just fine.

Lee, If you are still extending the offer...I sure would appreciate a copy.
www.goodnesspaul@aol.com is my Email address. If you would be interested I can send you plans (via snail mail if you give me a street address) for an O gauge ash/cinder lift that I drew up a while back.

I recently purchased a bunch of Superstreets roadway and vehicles in case no one takes over for K-line. My plan is to use a single lane dog bone out and back (with Ys) for a country road, a two lane (one circle) dog bone out and back for my suburbs, and two consentric loops in my city. May also do an 022 switch connection to my main O gauge street car yard in my city of Boston.

I remember you were doing a tracter trailer truck and I was thinking maybe I would do a fire ladder truck too.

One of my concerns has been overhang for my trollies and the fire truck. Figured I would seperate the North and South bound lanes with either an island of a filler roadway. Some of my trollies will not work on the D16 curves, and I may have to use D21 or make my own 027 roadway.

Have not done any real planning yet but expect "space" on the railroad layout will be a challenge.

Thank you so very much,
Paul Goodness

I've received and read all of this SuperStreets information. This is a must-have for the SuperStreets enthusiast.

Thanks a bunch, Lee!!!

Lee,

I just saw this thread and am thinking about using SuperStreets for a trolley line. Can you please forward me a copy?

My email is in my profile.

Thanks

I'm thinking about modifying some vehicles to run on Superstreets,so this info would be much appreciated.E-Mail has been sent

Thanks Lee.

Email sent.

Hi Lee, I too am going to use Superstreets for a trolly line under an El. I would appreciate it if you please send me a copy. My E-mail, mpkct@att.net

What engine do you have in the Vantage?

Lee

Just saw this post. I sent an email requesting the document.

Thanks

Hi Lee! I also would like a copy of your work with Superstreets.
Thanks, Art @ katy409@yahoo.com

I will try to send everyone a copy.

To date, I've sent out 399 copies since I first posted now. I've created a monster. Every time someone discovers this it pops to the top of the forum and I get dozens of requests. People who e-mail me will get a copy eventually, but I spent half an hour tonight sending copies so be patient.

I e-mailed you the file just now.

My Vantage is the series one, 4.3 liter V8, 380 HP with the Prodrive upgrade to 410. Its not that fast because the car weighs about 3500 lb, but then Astons aren't about pure speed: just incredibly satisfying cars to own and drive. Interestingly, the F430 exactly the same displacement but makes 112 HP more, and since it weighs 400 lbs less . . . its simple physics -- a lot faster, but not as classy a ride.

Lee, Thanks for that monster "Superstreets", WOW! I will put that info to good use. I'm going to get into gear and the timing is also good, because I move better in warm weather. I love the sounds of V12's and V16's, that's why I asked. Thanks again.

Hi Lee,
Could I get a copy of this when you have a chance. My email is in profile.
Thank you

Lee:

I have really been getting into Superstreets lately and have bought many of the components so that I can set up streets in Lionelville/ Plasticville.

Any additional help or suggestions that you can provide would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Any chance of getting a copy ?
Thanks JOHN G
WNNGARD@AOL.COM

Can't we just put this thing up on the site somewhere?

Lee, would you be so kind as to add me to the list. You should be proud of your effort - seems it is well worth the wait.

All the best,

No, but I'll put it in the magazine as soon as I can figure out a way to "condense" the nicely compiled info so it doesn't take up all the editorial space in a given issue.

Hi Lee , as your guide to Superstreets is getting so many rave reviews, I would really like a copy also if you would please send me one. Thanks, mikatt1@aol.com

Hi Lee,

If it is possible, I would like to get a copy of your Superstreets guide.

My email address is mario_ciliotta@yahoo.com

Thanks,
Mario

Hi LEE! Please send me a copy of your work on Super Streets. katy409@yahoo.com
Thanks, Art

Lee, same here. trainman18@aol.com

Many Thanks!!

Sunday a small group of DuPage train show go-ers were at Stan's layout. (see! I identified the guy this time!)

He has a very interesting SuperStreet layout that encircles several city blocks of buildings. The buildings are not cut-down so each block has an inner courtyard created by the rear parts of the buildings.

The SS layout has bi-directional running. The cars stop at crossing gates to allow the CTA trains to go by. by using several wyes he created a double reverse loop so their are actually several loops of SS track.

Stan's SS track is larger then the building blocks to allow for curb-side parking within the SS trackage. An interesting approach to allow moving and stationary cars.

Hopefully someone else will post a few pictures.

Lee has also agreed to do an article for the magazine detailing how to incorporate SuperStreets in a city scene. I hope to include it in one of our early issues next year. You might say that Lee "wrote the book" on SuperStreets (which will be re-released by Bachmann as E-Z Streets).

Hi Lee,

I just found this on the forum, could I get a copy of your SuperStreets guide. I have a bunch of superstreets and am trying to get them to interconnect in a city/town but, am having some real challenges.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Again Lee,

Forgot my email address, it is cdipaolo1@gmail.com

Thanks,

Chris

with the new forum, is there now a way that this document can be posted

 

Lee, I would love to get a copy,

 

Thanks

trainman18@aol.com

I was wondering if anyone has the file posted on-line somewhere to save Lee from all the emailing.  I saw someone posted a link but it did not work for me,

 

Thanks,

Ed

Lee has an interesting article on creating city streets with SuperStreets in our upcoming April issue of the magazine.

I will try to attach the .pdfs of the two documents I've done on Superstreets tomorrow, along with a separate post on my latest - my latest 18-wheeler -- the first one ready for prime time.    This new forum format really will help with posting big downloadable documents, I hope..  

 

Thanks for posting these pdfs, Lee.  I appreciate them very much.  Are you still compiling the info or has it become scattered in multiple posts?

Thanks Lee.  The document is very well done and very helpful.

 

And thanks Rich - the new forum makes it great for downloading as well!

Well, there is a lot scattered in various posts over the past 18 months, including a new one this morning. 

 

I have an article in the next OGR on making SS roads.

I have told Allan Miller I can do some more articles on Superstreets, too, if he thinks there will be enough interest.  But I have nothing further in a report or article format.   Sorry about that . . .
