GGTrain Posted July 3, 2015 Share #1 Posted July 3, 2015 Here are photos of my model elevated subway in O-Gauge. I have completed 91 inches of structure. These structures were built using Plastruct styrene and ABS. All girders were built using multiple parts. The "steel" structure was spray painted hunt club green.

Gong Gahou Posted July 9, 2015 Share #4 Posted July 9, 2015 What theaveragejoe said, I second that. Never seen a model that nearly resembled NYC's els until today. It looks awesome! Did you use any resources to make this? If not, props to you for making something this accurate out of observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGTrain Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share #5 Posted July 9, 2015 Hello Gong. There are specifications for dual contract elevated structure circa 1915. I built this in early 2013 and am searching for my specs. I will post them soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
