Reply to "Modular NYC subway layout - Times Square Station"

Thanks.  It's an interesting point you make about the ballasted track.  When I began the first (cut and cover) module, I followed the original IRT construction.  When I began the station module, I began to learn about the differences between the first contract and the Dual Contracts, including the use of a paved concrete roadbed in those stations instead of ballast, and the provision of a walkway along the BMT tunnel walls, and half-height concrete separators between adjacent tracks.  So strictly speaking, ballasted track is incorrect in the Times Square station.  Nonetheless, I like the way it looks.  Modeller's license.
