I used to have a layout set in the future. I liked it because it was easy to follow prototype.
Wow.
Have you posted about this in detail somewhere? I'd love to see/read more about that.
A pal of mine has a massive HO layout and his concept was to justify running steam with double stacks and Superliner consists, he'd say it's, "the summer of 58," but he also says he's not telling you what century it is. He also modelled things like a crashed variable roboto jet fighter from the Japanese animated series, "Macross," which was all rusted over, suggesting at least a century into the future.
What would you like to know about it. I built it as modules arranged in a figure 8 pattern e that fit in a utility trailer. Everywhere the eight touched a side of the trailer I installed a full height mirror. I cut windows in the box trailer sides and installed one way mirror glass so when you looked in it reflected down the "streets" in an infinite figure 8. There were also mirrors mounted on the ceiling and floor so it reflected and made it look so much higher. The skybridges were made with sides that covered the fact that there are. Figures mounted on top and bottom of them so that in the up/ down reflections the bridges had people standing on them.
The buildings were four feet high and lit from inside. There were 2600 modified and hand painted figures. I had four self contained DVD players mounted on buildings that were playing video ads that I had made with video editing software like you would see in Times Square.
There was a simple loop of track that had a RailKing Aerotrain on a timer.
I took it apart a few years ago after showing a few times around Southern CA.
