Hello Guys !
Well, while doing a search on Google -- this OGR thread came up. I clicked on it and realized it was started PRE-COVID ERA -- heh - 4 years ago from today (2018 to 2022) !.
Well, I started reading thru the entire 5 pages -- and now 4 years later -- I was completely "re-amazed" to see HOW MUCH GREAT subway (and EL) modeling discussion and photos of various subway models , etc., were on these pages. Including weathering and (yeah! ) combined Graffiti and weathering skilled art work was done on MTH NY subway cars. This 5 page thread has to be sort of iconic for all its compiled text and photo content. I decided to re-surface this thread to perhaps hope to get motivation juices going again in these times --- for our form of the hobby - by your re-viewing all the long ago content on these 5 pages !
I also included a few of the newest latest photos on and around my O- Scale NYC Transit System -- for anyone who may be interested -- and get motivation going if possible. And perhaps see what you others have been up to in your modeling and layout endeavors --- Regards - Joe F
