financial district manhattan

[rutmar]

hi there,

Several months ago i made the first prepartions to build a part of the skyline of NYC esspecially the financial district and some famous landmarks.

I had to start to make a suitable place for the lay out and that was finished a few months ago.

Many time i have spend with LDD to create models etc. ( flatiron building, chrysler building, wtc, city hall, empire state building and many more)

Now is the time to start some building. in the first place we need a subway and a platform, the 6 six coaches are almost complete, some modifications will be added next week.

The coaches are 8 stud and because of the weight, each coach need an 9v engine.

just take a quick look in my folder and see the (slow) progression of this project.

Nice train, I like the end part of the cars. Do you have pictures of the inside? Or pictures of the other buildings you made in LDD?

A pretty nifty coach, really nice, and what an enormous endeavor! Very interesting and promising indeed...

The yellow train is called "sprinter" and was in use by the dutch railways from 1978 till 2006 for major public transport between the cities Zoetermeer and The Hague.

Today the " sprinter " is modified for regional use in Holland.

i build that train five years ago and never had the time to build it more realistic ( doors) .

I shall upload more pics from the NYC subway next week when some modifactions have ben done, also some pics from the interior.

Cheers
