Although, I am aware of Backdrop Warehouse and have purchased their NY City product before, there seems to be no one who can provide a backdrop or background that includes the Empire State Building or the Buildings behind Grand Central Terminal.
The same goes for Chicago, no backdrop or background with the famous Chicago Board of Trade building behind it.
Also Jersey City Terminal>
I have been looking at posters in desperation.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Believe it or not, images of those are trademarked and cannot be sold unless they enter into a licensing deal.

I know the NYC Skyline is subject to that, but even just finding "anything" that looks like the pictures I posted to be used as a backdrop is difficult.
Vince....just an idea but unless you can't take a trip to these places yourself, perhaps one of the forum members that lives in those areas would be kind enough to take photos for you. Once you get them, you can go down to a local print shop and get them enlarged and printed to the size you need..AND..as long as you are using them for your own personal pleasure, there should be no problem...

That might be my only option....I even used google maps that gave me a street view which was awesome, but it is all too modern.
Either that, or just go with the Backdrop Warehouse and paste/glue the empire state building in as a 3D or an actual building in appropriate size/scale to the back drop.
Doing urban/city model railroading is rough!
