Re: NY&A themed layout that needs help - Rscott417 - 09-02-2013
My attempt at one of the buildings in the Grand Avenue lot. Unfortunately I forgot to take the height of the rail into consideration so the loading doors on the building are a little low but once I get all my foam i'll make a foundation that'll give the building the correct height.

And a start on Railroad Avenue

Nice start on that interestingly shaped structure. It'll be an eye catcher!

I got the other building in the Grand Ave lot started and sort of pinned in place. Not an exact replica but the same idea.

I really like what I see so far. With these oddly shaped buildings it will be a very interesting little layout.

Thanks everyone, I just have to figure out the roof and the over hang for the loading dock and I should be good. Hopefully by the weekend if I get everything I ordered I can get some power to the tracks and run some trains.

It's been awhile since I've worked on the layout so I jumped around and messed with the grand avenue overpass and stone retaining wall. Not much of an update but I will try to add a road/sidewalk tomorrow

Slowly chipping away...got Grand avenue "paved" and had some extra smooth-it so i poured it by the lumber siding. Not sure how that siding will be arranged yet, either a background building and a fence around the area or just a fence along the wall...i don't know.

I was originally going to cut this extra space out but I decided to go with the scrap yard thats on Grand ave, the trailer will be the office for the yard. Manhattan Beer Dist. got cut out of the plan so I built this curved building to hide the quick drop in elevation from the foam to the plywood, I haven't decided yet but might do an abandoned siding along the curved wall, but again i don't know. So that's all for now, i really need to get started on getting power to the track just been lazy.

I think the idea of having scenery below track level here was brilliant. I just didn't see that in your earlier planning, but now this is coming together very, very well.

Looks very good - can I ask what you used for the bridge stonework? It is very effective

That also caught my eye...I too would be interested to know...
It's surprising how much railroadin' can be done in a small space... Good job..!!

I got the stone wall from ebay, here is the link for the seller <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/Model-Railroads-Trains-/479/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=&_ssn=vanvliet49286">http://www.ebay.com/sch/Model-Railroads ... vliet49286</a><!-- m --> he makes all sorts of scenery made from cast foam so it was easy to cut the wall the height i needed.
