That is a wonderful slide show.  The double decked Hell Gate bridge is fantastic.  You must have the densest downtown in Arkansas by a good margin. 

 

However, the O gauge Insurance Services Office is concerned about the fire protection for that high value district.  There should be no less than eight engines and four ladder companies from at least six fire stations to protect a central business district like that.  Only one Mack Aerialscope was seen in the photos.  Were the rest of the fire apparatus in quarters or is there a need for enhanced protection for that downtown? 

 

Corgi has some wonderful Seagrave Engines and Trucks to chose from.

 

 

 

And their model of the big Hall-Scott powered Memphis Pirschs are superb.

 

 

 

Macks are great and there is no beating the L Model for looks.

 

A big downtown like that has to have a big fire department to keep high rise insurance rates affordable. 

WOW  GUYS!!!  I am so appreciative of all of the great comments!!  You inspired me to do another video and so late last night I finished and saved it.  It is in the same kind of formate, different pictures, like the one above since right now I am taking "baby steps" as I am learning how to do this.  I'll post it sometime this next week.  After that, I am going to try a video layout tour.  As far as a video "trip" on the layout, I want to wait until I either get my new Go-Pro camera or adapt my Toshiba Camileo S20 to a flatcar..or??

 

Thanks so much to all of you for your special comments and posts...and Ted....it is obvious the city is not prepared properly for fire protection rates!!

Hi great video, amazing that it was your first one. The tune had my wife singing and my friends wife at first thought she was watching old photographs from the past until I explained they were of your layout, I guess the first bourbon they drink may have contributed to the above. Anyhow you have one nice layout thanks for sharing, regards Rob

Thanks for taking the time to look and comment...

Just a note about those LeMax subway entrances   New York city had two types of entrance  One was the one LeMax made with the rounded dome roof.  The other one New York used was a squared off dome.  The difference between the two was that the round dome was for downtown or southbound trains and the squared off one was for uptown Northbound trains.  I had purchased a custom made square roof from Trackmum  Jack Smith that came out beautiful  Have to take some pics
