This is the future location the 2nd level and my mimic of New York City. It will occupy an area of 6" x 12'. The orangery building on the right is a 3D puzzle of the Empire State Building. Takeoff the tower and the puzzle building looks a run of the mill skyscraper. The Chrysler Building is also a 3D puzzle. The Empire State Building on the left, and the Flat Iron Building are Dept 56.
This view of Rockefeller Center is my goal for the centerpiece of my New York City model because it is how it looked when I was much younger. A golden statue of the Greek Titan Prometheus with an enormous Christmas tree behind him, and the skating rink in the foreground.
The towns on my layout are Floral Park, Northport and Woodside. The El is the Flushing IRT Line, now the #7. All railroad lines through these towns will go to New York City. So far my railroad has about well over 100 feet of track.
So you will be adding a second city level with the skyscrapers? You might want to look for the D56 Chrysler Building and Times Building to go with your Empire State Building and Flat Iron Building. That was what I used on my Christmas Layout back in 2014-15.
That's also the TW Trainworx 100th Anniversary Grand Central Terminal.
