Let's take a look at the yard on our 1970's Brooklyn- Queens based HO Scale layout. We're in the process of planning a rip-track area, engine house and street scene in and around the yard.
Thanks for watching. Please check out our site to see some of the kits featured in the video as well as over 100 HO Scale kits: fosscalemodels.com/collection...

Hey what do you know. After all my model train videos I find a person from NYC. I grew up in Brooklyn. We always played on a frieght line running alongside the "N" train from 8th Ave to 15th Ave. I am now 57 yrs old. But as a kid my friends used to surf on top of the N train. Luckily they are all still here. Although one passed away last week of natural cause. (Heart Attack) 54yrs old. Nice to see someone modeling local trains.

Another great video! I absolutely love seeing your layout. I also really like how high the bench work is, it really puts the viewer in the scene. Hope you get the cast off soon.

great video and a very nice layout. I was lucky to have the possibility to visit the sunny side yard in the early 1980s and i especially liked the area around the sanding facility where the gg1s were services. in that area some switching also was done. Your layout captures that quite a bit. Nicely weathered equipment, but to my recollection only the subway cars was heavily painted with graffiti , most of the freightcars still were untouched. Lots of fallen flags there, just like you have. You sure have lots of possibilities there. Looking toward your next video. Thanks for a very inspiring video.

Another great look at your work Doug, hope you get that cast off soon, im sure thats no fun. A bridge over the yard would look so cool, maybe too busy like you said but it is a city. What ever you decide will look awesome, I have no doubt. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Rob. Love that hat too.

Dear Doug, very interesting how you’ve shown your different design contemplations. Love the way you will change the former engine facility into a rip track. A gantry crane with a stock of wheels and bogies, plus tank welding projects and compressors waiting for maintenance, will definitely make a very interesting scene. On the raised plywood section; definitely think the added streets will add realism to this part of the yard. Considering the ‘island’ is rather narrow in width an angled placement of the access road would make sense. Which also will allow for the buildings to show more depth. Very cool how you play around with the mock ups. Even though another overpass road may seem to busy, either a pipeline or elevated subway overpass will provide three dimensional ‘framing’ of the ground level vignettes. It will also provide opportunity to further increase the depth of field illusion beyond the backdrop. Love these intricate vids on the several aspects of putting such a layout together. Definitely adds to the curiosity, creativity and inspiration. Cheerio

GREAT VIDEO! MAKE THE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE OVER THE TRACKS FROM THE STREET SECTION! I don't think it'd be as "busy" as you think; but actually, a nice focal point and a way to break the linear lines of the layout!!! What do you think?

That is a nice little yard scene, I think a little height will look good in that’s street scene, at least a couple of buildings with 3 or 4 stories. (What happened to your wrist?)

Model railroading can be hazardous to your heath! I've cut many fingers with x-acto blades, and I even got a cast on my wrist once from taking pictures of the layout (long story). What happened to you? Was Diesel in a stubborn mood?

Why is it that once you build your layout do you want to hide it? Putting those huge buildings will hide the layout where having small industry's you can still see your operation.
