Kevin, That is some great work!!! My next layout will most definitely have a subway so I enjoy seeing how others model them.
Where did you find the garbage truck?
In your video the train runs nice and quiet on the rails. What are you using for underlayment?
Thanks Pete.
The garbage truck is a 1:43 Swedish Scania truck that I purchased on FeeBay. My plan is to only use 1:43 vehicles on my layout (I still have some holdovers for fillers) and I wanted my trucks to have an additional variety to just the New Ray Freightliner and Kenworth models. Just search "Scania 1:43" on FeeBay and you'll see a bunch of various styles of trucks, etc.
Regarding the track, the Atlas O is just laid straight on top of indoor/outdoor carpet that's sitting on the blue foam from Lowe's. As it's sitting on a HCD I thought it would be louder, but it isn't. Track noise is very quiet, which is why I still love Atlas O even with all of my multiple track changes $$$$ over the years 
. To make it even more quiet (which is required by the Land Grant Commission 
for the Christmas layout) I eventually plan on placing all of my Atlas O on Ross Roadbed which I've read great things about.
