NYC Subway - Phase 1 planning & design

[Jeffs_Railroad]

Hi, I would appreciate your help in determining how to and where to obtain modeling supplies to build the elevated and underground structures (i.e., stations, stairs, support beams, etc.) of the NYC Subway #5 line between Dyre Ave and Cyress Ave. If it is easier feel free to email me at Jeffs_Railroad@yahoo.com .

Thanks in advance.
Jeff

Hey Jeff,

You can get some NYC subway stuff in HO scale (decorative 3rd-rail kit, station signs, entrance stairway railings, etc.) at Image Replicas: http://www.imagesreplicas.com/index.htm

You can get the LifeLike P1K R17 Redbird NYC subway cars for $80 a set at Trainland: http://trainworld.com/lifelike/NEWPROTOCLOSEOUTS.htm

And plenty of reference photos at http://www.nycsubway.org

Looking forward to seeing your layout! :thumb:

Hi Tom, Wow what terrific stuff! Appreciate your input, will post pictures as I develop the table. By the way, do not go far, I will probably need more help.
Thanks,
Jeff

Somewhere on here a while back (2004?), there was a guy (I think it was in Japan) that did a subway layout underneath and a traction layout up above. I can't seem to find it. Anyone else remember it?

Trainnut, appreciate the information. I will check it out.

Thanks,
Jeff
