Chicago Neighborhood 1950's

A railroad buddy of mine is building a super model of Chicago neighborhoods in the 1950's that reminds him of where he grew up. He is using Lionel/K-Line's SuperStreets for his working automobiles. Dream Layouts helped him with his new working traffic lights that actually control the cars at the intersection. This is a very fun layout to watch!

How do you get them to stop at go at the lights

[@johncramer212]

Hi there!! Anyway you can post over head view of this layout??

[@plunkervillerr1529]

It`s too fast and too short .

[@amato24]

@Chugman4 is there a way I can get in touch with your son. I would like to learn more about how he did the intersection and changing lights.

[@Bigtitan56PA]

wow! i always wondered how you could do this. so it does this by itself or by tmcc control or DCC control? its great. I wish i had tons of space to make mine elaborate like this.

[@amato24]

Love the city. Where can you still get the Superstreets sets from? Also, how did you do the traffic lights at the intersection and making the cars stop for the lights?

[@trainbuff10]

Nicely done! Your son is very clever. I would love to be able to have a layout like yours. It's great to be able to have the cars stop at the light for traffic. Great layout- thank you for sharing!

[@dv713]

Like your setup and the stop light action is cool. What did you fill in the streets with where it is not part of the super street track?

[@antoniorivoli2670]

what do you use for the road surrounding the tracks that have the parked cars on it?

[@alexanderbacik955]

I absolutely love what you did! How did you create the rest of the road/ get everything to match? Any adivce would be greatly appreciated!
