The Elevated Line update...lots of pictures!!

Hi Jim...again, if it weren't for you taking care of my special needs on my "EL" project, it would have been much more difficult.  I appreciate you being able to do custom work for my particular situation.

The MTH stair will work as well as the Lionel version.  I just happened to have them on hand at the time.

Thanks,

Alan

Alan. As soon as i saw your photos today of that staircase, I knew that was the direction I need to go. Funny, I was at the local hobby store two days ago and considered buying the MTH version, but didnt. After seeing yours, im definetly buying it now.

tks.

Jim...that is what I like the most...spending someone else's money!

I also used a modified Lionel pedestrian walkway for my elevated trolley line.  It makes for a nice stairway and platform and doesn't take up to much room.  Like Alan's photos show, the style goes great in a city scene.  For mine, I had to ad more railing so I used styrene.  In case you need to paint, Testors Silver model paint was very close to the original color...that is what I used.

Keith...thanks for the tip on the Testors paint...I am going to need to do some painting on the landing that I will be building for the top of the stairs so I will go out and get the paint to which you refer...!

Alan

Thanks for the tip on the paint, Keith!

Hi Alan, boy you have many hours of TLC in your layout. The "Windy City" never looked as good.

Magnificent! Alan.......I feel like its 1960 and I'm on White Plains Rd near Allerton Ave in the Bronx.....going to Honig's Parkway, my train store.......what a great feeling your modeling evokes!

Peter

Looks fantastic. All you need is Gene Hackman racing after a train underneath in a Pontiac GTO .

It really looks AWESOME! You could probably make a great video just on how you took those great pics!

All it needed was some water dripping from it here and there and it's like you ARE THERE!

Mario, Peter, Matt, and trainloon....thanks so much.  It is worth every minute of time I have invested in the layout if it gives you guys and any one else pleasure.  It makes me feel good knowing that the pictures evoke good memories for you guys!!
