Hello Coach Joe !

Thanks for the plug and nice compliment to me.

I am long quite aware that I model - specifically - highly detailed and skilled NY City style EL structures, track and stations.  Well, considering what scratch-building materials  were  available to me to be used when I started it doing it 35 years ago in O Scale.   Along with the very much required trackside city scene buildings, etc., along the El.  That alone takes a lot of skill, dedication, and recognizing and identifying, and replicating, so many of the countless details and etc., associated with the trackside scenes,  street scenes, buildings and stores, etc.    The 3D printing process of late has shown it can provide even more scale and detailed various structural and detailing components for rapid transit (or any railway) modeling.  Even specialized rolling stock !

However, proper and realistic modeling of a "Subway line (Tunnels, scenes, stations, etc) " is an entirely  different world and project specially to it's own.  And Justino has captured the entire essence and look, feel of, and incorporated, the  myriad of details applicable to such underground transit modeling.  What I have accomplished in my "above the street" modeling of rapid transit in O Scale,  he has accomplished in the "below the street" modeling of rapid transit.  Two radically different worlds of transit modeling !

regards - Joe F
