** Three Level Layout with Subway and EL **

Great looking layout with lots of train action and detail in a modest space!

Outstanding.

Once again you guy have created another masterpiece.

That is top shelf train layout building.

Spectacular!

Great work as always.......you all need to write a book on rock formation!!!!

Wonderful looking layout and thanks for sharing it.

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!!

I agree that the work is truly stunning.  Having said that, the one thing that bugs me as a New Yorker is that, assuming that this is supposed to be a NYC El (GCT is present), the El uprights and structure just do not look like those where I grew up - the Bronx, Manhattan and Queens.  I fear this will come across like I'm one of the contrarians here that must find something to complain about to feel worthwhile, but as you know from my other praises of TW, I think you guys are bringing absolutely amazing stuff to market.  

Excellent work.  Plenty of action.  One point I'd like to make is, I don't think the girder bridges, for the elevated track need to be there.  They distract from the view.  Since the elevated track already has it's own support system, in the form of trusses under the track, the girder bribes are redundant.  

Love the layout!  would enjoy seeing the track plan.  

Yep, that's a beauty!!

Thanks so much Alex - very much appreciated!!

Wow! That is an exciting layout. Well done!

I have a suggestion that will enhance onlookers attention to the subway. Add spark simulators.

No fears needed my Trainiac Friend ... "I fear this will come across like I'm one of the contrarians" - feedback of all types is welcome and appreciated! I will pass on your feedback to Roger today.

Have a great week!

Very cool! I'll pass the suggestion on to our Traingineers

Again, we love all the suggestions here on the OGR Forum! The goal with this layout was to incorporate as many of our client's childhood memories of the imagery of New York so the juxtaposition of elements, scale, time periods are all intended to deliver his desired experience in a single glance... considering that Roger even squeezed in the New Jersey Palisades into his 17' x 6' layout... not too bad (I know, I know, I'm prejudice big time )
