just to give everyone an overview of my layout this is from another thread <br /> <br />GOTHAM CENTRAL LINES: I am Building a layout based on Gotham City from Batman. I am using New York Central Equipment Relettered as Gotham Central. It is an urban layout paralleling New York City. I have 3 boroughs planned one is similar to Manhatten, the borough of Gothica will have several skyscrapers the centerpiece being Wayne Enterprizes Tower that is 15 HO stories tall; it is half complete. Another, Arkham is more residential similar to the Bronx, the last is a combination of Brooklyn and the New Jersey meadowlands called Stonegate its two Centerpieces will be its docks and Stonegate Penitentiary out in the meadowlands. It is set in the 1940s and i am only using steam. I have plans for lightrail and a subway as well. For the most part the trains will be hidden under the city streets downtown except for a cut between some of the buildings, but there will be street cars to make up for it and i am detailing the underground station platforms. However, the trains will be completely visable in the other boroughs aside from when they're squeezing between buildings. One of the more interesting things is the lighting and backdrops i am working on the sky is lit red, yellow or gray depending on the time and type of day. Those of you who read the comics or watched the series for Batman probably get the picture. The layout is pretty massive i drew much of my inspiration from George Sellios, i figure go big or don't go at all. I get most of my supplies from LHC and the internet.
