Well, I suppose I need to get this thread kicked off early as well. Why in the world did I purchase a NYC train set? I guess because it really looked cool. And it is fun to run on the NTRAK layouts at shows. Oh, and the sweet running KATO E7s.
After an appointment at the Cleveland Clinic, my wife and I had dinner at Hofbrauhaus. Across the street was Cleveland's classic art deco Greyhound bus station. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk
I'm not sure if you are thinking of a particular designer, like Frank Lloyd Wright, but Art Deco isn't the work of one person, but a style that was produced during a particular time period of what I might describe as "futuristic optimism." From Wikipedia: Art Deco, short for the French Arts Décoratifs, and sometimes referred to simply as Deco, is a style of visual arts, architecture, and product design, that first appeared in France in the 1910s (just before World War I), and flourished in the United States and Europe during the 1920s to early 1930s. Through styling and design of the exterior and interior of anything from large structures to small objects, including how people look (clothing, fashion and jewelry), Art Deco has influenced bridges, buildings (from skyscrapers to cinemas), ships, ocean liners, trains, cars, trucks, buses, furniture, and everyday objects like radios and vacuum cleaners.
The Mercury, New York Central's first streamlined locomotive, was an Art Deco design by Henry Dreyfuss.
Maybe it's just me but I really like that engine All the styling and the white walls to finish the look.
It's not just you! When I laid my eyes on this beauty here, I had to take a deep breath. It's impressive just sitting there.
From 12/2017, the "funeral train" makes a last pull from the yard on my old N Scale Delaware, Susquehanna & Northern shortly before I dismantled the railroad. The real CNJ worked a similar train in 1972 when they pulled out of Pennsylvania and the LV assumed operations there. I painted the Kato RS-3s, Bachmann coach and Dimi-Trains wreck equipment.
That’s a great urban scene-would you mind posting a couple of photos of the front and back of the Walthers Hardwood Furniture Company structures that you combined together? I’m looking to do something similar with the Walthers Bralick kits (which are about the same kit, different windows) and would like to see how you did the seam between the front wall sections and the back wall sections.

A delicious traffic jam? Construction? Where? Just like here in Montreal, where a recent audit determined that one in five orange safety cones are completely useless and just causing traffic hassles around non-existent work sites... The cones were picked up shortly after this photo was taken. And eaten.
I'd love to help you with that, but I'vee been bedridden since May & can't get to the basement. The building your asking about, I got it in Springfield a couple of years ago. I'm sorrry I can't help any further. When I can, if I can, I'll take pictures for you.
Thanks for getting back to me-I’m sorry to hear about your health issues. I hope they resolve as best they can. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
