Looks like your profile came through okay ...Hi Ken! Looks like your profile came through okay after all! :-)<br /><br />Yeah, I've considered a subway, and I like what you and others have done with building underground stations. What I'm looking for is probably influenced by the combination of the iron elevated framework intersecting a grid of tall buildings. Probably something like a cross between the Chicago elevated, NY subway, and the Paris Metro! :-) <br /><br />Something about the look of elevated railways and their industrial appearance appeals to me. Plus, they are always at the right height for Godzilla to grab too!Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454470373325096585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530989713679372474.post-80216538750871210682015-12-14T19:41:35.786-08:002015-12-14T19:41:35.786-08:00Although I enjoy the benchwork part of model railr...Although I enjoy the benchwork part of model railroading, it is something to see how quickly you've put the basics together with the pre-fab parts. Of course, there was a lot of planning first, I'm sure.<br /><br />I'm very interested to see how what you have planned for the new Quinntopia works out. <br /><br />Rather than an elevated line, have you considered a surface / subway back and forth transit line? You could expose the subway station under the city with a window, and have it at "ground" level at the other end if the city wasn't all on one plane. Even when cities are flat, they're often flat on more than one level.<br /><br />For some reason the preview shows me commenting as Anonymous,<br />Ken (SumidaCrossing)KenShttp://www.sumidacrossing.org/noreply@blogger.com
