GreeneggsnPelham Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share #26 Posted November 16, 2012 Thanks checkmate! At DK, were you still interested in buying a map? Sorry for the months-late reply, my account had some weird lockout when we went to the new boards, so I haven't been able to log in until a few days ago!

GreeneggsnPelham Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share #27 Posted December 10, 2012 In anticipation of the holiday season---are there any prospective buyers for maps? -A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDTA Posted December 20, 2012 Share #28 Posted December 20, 2012 I might buy one, but not in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussieinuk Posted December 21, 2012 Share #29 Posted December 21, 2012 Mate, I am really impressed with those drawings. It is easy to see you have put in a lot of work and skill into them. I can understand why it takes two weeks to do one. Well worth the 40 bucks. How about one of the London Underground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneggsnPelham Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share #30 Posted December 23, 2012 I have only done ONE London Underground map, it was a custom map for my friend's 22nd Birthday. I had never attempted London before, and it came out wonderfully--that one was a six week project. Below are some shots of it. PM me and we'll talk prices, shipping, etc. I'm expanding this to any sort of Rapid Transit map people would like, big city, small, fictional or not.

Aussieinuk Posted December 23, 2012 Share #31 Posted December 23, 2012 From what I can see here, you have done an amazing job. I notice the map you are showing here also has the " overground " lines on it as well. Have a look at www.tfl.gov.uk to see the full range of maps. There have been a couple of recent additions. The " Emirates Skyway " cable car is now a part of TFL. Also there is a new extension on the " Overground " network. As I am still a new member here, I have to wait until 30 days are up before I can PM you. I am very interested in what you do, and I am sure some of my friends and colleagues will be as well. Just one thing I would like to know. What size are your maps? Have a great Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneggsnPelham Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share #32 Posted December 24, 2012 Thanks for the link Aussie! I had worked on this map in December 2009, in anticipation for my friend's birthday the following January. At the time, I did go to the website you provided, and looked at a map that was pending, for 2010 services (it was the Oyster Rail Services map IIRC). Thanks for the interest! My maps are pretty big--as you can see from the pictures, it takes up more than half of the refrigerator up-to-down, and is too big for it left-to-right. Usually my maps are between 3.5 ft x 3.5 ft to 4x4 feet. It depends on the size of the map and what sort of information I need to fit into it. The NYC Subway maps are about 42" x 42". The London map was larger because I had to include a lot more lines/stations than NYC, but with NYC I had to include street geography, etc. Keep replying to the post, and let me know your ideas/interests as well as those of your colleagues. Check out my profile, my email is there. -A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussieinuk Posted December 26, 2012 Share #35 Posted December 26, 2012 I was thinking of a " tube" map to start, and depending on how that turns out, then I would like a full system map that includes " London Overground " and " National Rail " as well,but that would be a huge project.

GreeneggsnPelham Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share #37 Posted April 7, 2013 Just wanting to bump the thread to see if anyone's still interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDTA Posted April 8, 2013 Share #38 Posted April 8, 2013 Can you do extensions of current lines as long as they stay within city lines? Also, do the maps include SI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneggsnPelham Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share #39 Posted April 14, 2013 @CDTA: 1) Yes, I'll do extensions to current lines and some fantasy lines as long as they're not uber ridiculous. Like you saw on Zach's map, he wanted the and a going to Canarsie as well as the brown on Brighton, etc. I won't charge extra for non-fictional routes. 2) Staten Island is optional for whomever orders the map. If your map includes *extensive* SI-connected routes, I'll charge only a few bucks extra because I'll have to make the map bigger to accommodate SI details. Usually on past private maps, I've just done the bare-bones MTA style on SI, without as much detail. If you're still interested, post a reply here and we'll get to talking! -A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreeneggsnPelham Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share #42 Posted April 17, 2013 Not at all, I don't mind waiting! It's best to give me a little while though, because while it only takes 2-3 weeks to finish a map, that's idealistic timing, meaning no job, no family, no wasted down time, lol. So, if you were to give me a heads up say around July, we could work out contract and payment details, and go over your map in super super great detail, since after all, you're paying for this, so my first concern is that everything is to your liking. The extension sounds fine, I don't mind fantasy things like that. Just as long as you have roughed out versions of where you'd like modifications to go, we should be okay. For added services on existing tracks (i.e. a to Canarsie or something), you don't need to provide a picture or anything. The situation is different since you'll be laying new trackage. If you have AIM or any other messenger, my sn is greeneggsnpelham. We could start preliminary talks on just what routes you want (and don't want), and go from there. Looking forward to doing business! -A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDTA Posted June 9, 2013 Share #43 Posted June 9, 2013 Odd question that won't effect my purchase: Would you be able to do something on the back? I have a fantasy plan for LIRR, and I was wondering if you could do it on the back, of course i' be willing to pay a bit extra for it, if you do say yes. Now, with that, SI, shipping, and flat cost, how much should it cost approximately? (Shipping would be to Albany, NY) Oh, and don't think I forgot about this, i've just been drawing up my plans now, and I want to be 100% sure I have everything. Oh an i'd hate to say this, but seeing how a house is being purchased over the summer, with moving costs, appliances, etc. the map may be pushed back to Christmas. Hopefully not later than then, but if it gets pushed back past then, i'll try to come up with an excuse to get it mid-year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneggsnPelham Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share #44 Posted June 9, 2013 I will be able to do something in the back, but it depends on how big it's gonna be and how detailed. I'll have to place another layer of paper on the back, because the markers and sharpies will show through on the back, and I don't want to mess up your map. If it's just a standard basic LIRR deal like on the back of the subway maps, then it shouldn't be that much extra. Now, to calculate your costs--- Base map flat cost: $40. SI addition: I won't charge since it's technically part of NYC. Map on the back: $10. Shipping: $15 (prices went up a little bit and they stopped delivering/picking up on Saturdays). So you're looking at around $65. PM me your email address and I can take a look at your plans and I can start doing a rough skeleton. It's best to get it started now, even if Xmas is six months away. -A P.S. For any other customers, I am now taking holiday orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
