Two Large Layouts | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Joe POGR Forum Member

Here are two large layouts that belong in this design section. Both involve subways and elevated lines. One is my layout, the other I designed for a friend. My friend's layout also includes freight and Aurora slot car track. My layout is in the subways section and you can follow its progress there under topic NYC Subway Layout v2.0. I would like to stick to the design topic since I would like to leave this thread in this section and not have it moved to the subways section, albeit there is some non-subway stuff here.

First is my bi-level layout whose dimensions are 23x12x18. Here is the track plan and some 3D renderings.

My friend's layout will be HUGE, 26x45. It is also a bi-level layout that includes Aurora slot car track as well as freight. He wanted to have a mini-Queensboro Bridge for subway trains and a lift bridge for freight crossing a waterway with subway trains also running under the "river" as well as a vehicular tunnel using the Aurora track. Here is the track plan with sone 3D renderings.

Both are very impressive. Any construction underway?

I especially like the Queensboro (59th St) bridge. thumb

There is a link to the progress of my layout in the OP. My friend's layout should start to take off during the summer.
