This really looks nice. Know that you are glad to have it completed.

Oh yes I am Bill! This entire project took me about 4 months to complete.  Once you start on this scenery run it never ends.  You learn more and then do more.  I'm just going to run some trains for a while....   

Wood

looks real nice enjoy it

Sure looks very good to me, Wood. I love the elevated train stations and platforms.

Looks great! thanks for sharing.

I'll take it as creative license putting an elevated section on Comm Ave. - I'm looking to do something similar, but being born in Boston, I'm opting for Dudley station.

Are all the supports bridge boss too? They look nice too.

Ah yeah, your one step ahead of me... Like the Aqua Blue color... may have to rethink this grimey black thing before it goes out for paint.

I like the station and lighting really makes a nice focal point with action... may have to add one to mine!

Thanks for sharing.

Like Wow • Very cool elevated line & station in Boston. 

Hope the fans can walk to Fenway Park.

Yes Tim it is creative license.  I am trying to create a Boston city scape.  With Comm Ave intersecting Yakey Way and overlooking Fenway Park.  Behind it will be an entire series of buildings including the Prudential building and the Citgo sign.  Anyone who visits my layout will get the total picture even if it isn't based on the actual landmark locations.

I utilized BridgeBoss components for all of my Elevated Track.  Double track 20+ feet long.  Jim Robinson helped me devise this station and staircase.  We talked our way through it and he provided the prototype which I modified to fit my location.

I have to give Rich Batista credit for the paint.  It is Sea Smoke and is a very good resemblance to the paint used by the DOT on steel structures.  (Available at Home Depot.)  It looks very nice with out being overpowering.  I have too much grimy black on my layout.

Well get busy!!!  HA HA,  It is a very nice focal point which is exactly what I was looking for too.  I lighted it with LEDs and they give a great glow.  Post some pics of what you are doing with the Bridgeboss risers.

Trainroomgary - Thanks for the Fenway sign.  Read the above post and you'll know I am a huge Fenway and Sox Fan..  Go Patriots too!!!

Hi Wood,
