Well I am finally getting back after dismantling my old layout.  I have a new home and with it a new train room.  I have posted some pictures of the proposed location some months ago.  I am pleased to say that I have my modular benchwork up!  There are a total of 16 modules and I was able to reuse or modify sections of my old layout for all but one section.  All sections have been resurfaced and freshly painted. The layout will eventually feature both subway and elevated.  The RR-Track layout features the subway portion with a ramp to the elevated (shown in yellow).  The red tracks are for the power in the blocks.  There are 3 stations.  I will be using my old Baltic Street station and will add an express track.  The 125th Street station will feature an additional platform.  The City Hall station will feature an additional track and be extended.  Here is the track design with the stations.  If you look closely you can see the block breaks.

Here are a few 3D renders of the layout. Baltic Street (green), 125th Street (blue), City Hall (red).

Here is the benchwork in the new train room.  The next step is to lay down the tracks!!!

Buildings and structures are way off into the future. I will concentrate on finishing the track which is made  complicated due to the scarcity of some of the track. Then comes my subway walls, stations, signals, and lights. Only after this is completed will the elevated line be built. About 2 years ago I decided to make an attempt at building an elevated structure.  See my thread in this forum titled "EL on Display ".

More track down.  Also showing what will be the ramp for the elevated section.  This is a temporary make shift ramp and it shows the elevation to the street level (6 inches).  The ramp will then increase another 6 inches to the elevation above street level.  Notice the track leading to the yard as it passes underneath the ramp.  The grade is approximately 4 percent.  Also note the crossover track design.

The track for the 3 individual subways lines are complete.  The crossovers required a little work.  RR-Track software is a great help, but it's not perfect as it does not account for the fact that it is possible to shift track at the joints.  Anyway here are a few more photos. The yard track is next!

Thanks for sharing specs. Having a yard half your size would be my goal one day. What you provided is more than I could have expected. Thanks a mil Joe!

 

By the way, have followed your previous threads and YouTube videos and must say you have the most detail subway layout with resources for anyone inspiring to model the NYC subway.

 

Look forward to seeing your progress.
