1/2 Inch Scale Elevated
City Trolley Scene HO - See Subway Below
Another Look at Joe Frank's Elevated NYC O Scale
My layout is based on the Chicago, South Shore, and South Bend Railroad from Randolph Street Station in Chicago to South Bend, Indiana. It is based in the mid 1960s when I first saw the railroad in South Bend. The layout is 30 by 60 foot. Running NCE DCC and signaling via CTC using C/MRI.

| Nice house O Scale |

| Another nice house in O Scale |
 |
| My dearest trolley fan next to large scale elevated. I believe it is 1/2 inch scale. The whole layout is about 100 feet long and portable and is generally at all East Penn Trolley meets. |
 |
| Some O Scale background buildings about 2 inches deep. The nice fire escapes are available commercially. |
 |
| O Scale city scene. Notice the building fronts on the left. |
 |
| Joe Frank's long narrow basement elevated layout. I lost count but he has at least 200 elevated and subway cars, trolleys, and buses. Joe is a retired NYC policeman and one of the best known experts on everything elevated and subway in NYC. This is all O Scale and unseen on the right is an HO version of the NYC elevated. |
 |
| Another example of building fronts. Joe's are removable for maintenance on the elevated or the trolley tracks below. |
 |
| Looking below the elevated by removing several of the building fronts. |
 |
| A typical station on the elevated. The center track is for express trains with limited stops. |
 |
| Another nice scene. Notice the telephone pole. Below are some short videos I shot with my Digital Camera. I will post more later. On the Elevated |
