That looks really good

Alex looking great!

posted as I make progress.

THANKS ALEX

Thumbs up! (hope that is a feature on the new forum)

Only problem is, MTH did not exist in the 50's. OH SORRY, it's back to the future.

I loved the pictures. It is nice how you are getting your family involved. Thanks for posting.
David

Nicely done, Alex! The two levels work well together. I like the traffic tunnel to upper level.

Thanks TMack,eddie g,David S,and Keith

Peter

THANKS ALEX

Very nice!

Ingenious use of table space. I've always been a proponent of building a model railroad on multiple levels. My layout has three levels , two of which interchange but to do this you end up with a heck of alot of carpentry. Keep the pics coming. Nice work.

Alex,

Looks great!

And if imitation is the sincerest way of flattery, considered yourself 'flattered'. You see, there are three levels at my railroad’s city of Madera Heights, and I had been debating how to connect the middle and lower levels, but couldn’t come up with anything I liked. Not anymore, though. This is how I am going to do it no – simple and elegant!



Thank You!!

Alex

terry...

Alex,
Nice work! I have been thinking about a lower level addition to my layout, so your post is motivational. Is there a track connection between levels?

Thanks Terry and Bobby for
the very kind comment's

Bobby I'm in the process of connecting
the two lower levels to the two upper levels
the connection will be behind the scenery.

THANKS AGAIN TERRY AND BOBBY
ALEX

Alex,

Wow looks really good. Your daughter did a great job on the signs. Kid's got some talent. These pictures look much better than the ones you emailed me. I really like the tunnel to the upper level. I'm glad the white out worked out for the street lines. Came out nice.

Keep up the great work.

Mike R

Very nice indeed!

Looks great Alex. I love your road sign that says "To Upper Level". I hope you don't mind if I complement your creativity by my imitation.
Your solution to our hobbies age old real estate problem is far too beautiful in it's simplicity not to borrow.

Nice work! One added benefit: the folks living in those buildings won't
have to worry about roof leaks when it rains, lol.

HOPPY

Thanks Hoppy and Mario for the very
nice comments.

Mario I'm happy you like it and want to use
the idea. Just make sure you please post pictures
when you done.Love to see them.

THANKS TO ALL AGAIN ALEX

That really looks nice Alex.

Thanks Johnny for the kind comments

THANKS ALEX

Great use of space looks good and adds an interesting backdrop to the lower level. Top is just right height to look good above it all.

? it looks like a block wall behind?? something to give an end to the view behind the buildings might be black tar/roofing paper? comes in rolls and could roll it out and hang it or rest if behind the buildings against the back wall!??
Still looks good as is though!

For the roads something neat I have seen done is you can take a photo of man hold covers and drain grates and reproduce them in correct O size on your home printer and use double sided tape to stick them down along the road for an interesting effect!

THANKS Kj356 for the nice comments
also some good ideas you came up with
thanks again.

Alex Ingeniero here are some photos of the upper
level area.This would be the road that takes you
to the lower level.This would be the make believe
road behind the scenery that would connect to get
from one level to the other.Hope I could be of help
Let me know what you think.And would enjoy input from
all forum members of course.

THANKS TO ALL ALEX

ENJOY

Alex,

That is very nice! I also like the highway numbers - they add a nice touch of realism
