I'm thinking about having a go at building a section of the New York High Line - this was a freight elevated line that ran through buildings, had a twin-track main line with heavy freight trains rumbling up and down. Look at www.oldnyc.com for more prototype info. I'm planning a representation rather than an exact model of a certain section, and I plan to use one of the Walthers "American Hardware Supply" warehouse kits as the basis. The only problem I have is how to link this to my existing layout - I've seen photos of the incline on the real thing, but I would need masses of room to build this (which I don't have). So I suspect my model will have to be a diorama - though if I plan it carefully I may be able to fit some switches and a couple of spur tracks, just enough to allow me to operate a small switcher and a couple of freight cars. So it will be an operating diorama.
