Fantastic layout. Every time I see it I am more blown away. Two words: You Rock. Great stuff my friend. This should be in all of the model railroad press and Allen Kellerman should be filming this, too! SO cool!!!! :)

[stevefromPA2]

It is what it is...the best ho urban layout based on Philly..

[Wehategod]

Love the layout also could you get those Septa Arrow III's running man!!!! btw did you convert your layout to DCC?

[ac0catenary]

@Wehategod .Thanks . I need a sacrifice.. Lifelike RDC to get those New Silverliner IVs running.. I converted to DCC about two years ago. Started with the Trolleys first. Now everything is DCC

[Wehategod]

@ac0catenary Damn that sucks about the Silver liners

[ac0catenary]

@ac0catenary Awsome Can't wait to see the Video

[cheesemunster12]

WOW! Great layout. I wish I could have a Layout like yours. I live by some Septa tracks and they run the same type of sepat trolly you have. Where did you get them and what brand are they? I saw the same kind in O scale at my hobby shop but not in Ho.

[ac0catenary]

@cheesemunster12 Glad you like it. You can get the trolleys from IHP

ihphobby.tripod.com They also have them at the Septa store at 1234 market street downtown Philadelphia

[cheesemunster12]

@ac0catenary Thanks I saw on your website you model from 1980 to presant. IT seems you like GG1s. You should get one in Conrail or Amtrack to match the whole 1980-presant theme. They have them at my local train store, Nicholas Smith trains in Broomal, PA. Maybe you've been there. I saw on your website that you live in Philly. Nicholas smith is right off the blue route and its on West Chester pike (aka PA-3) its not a hooby shop its ALL trains, except the first floor, but besides that all trains.

[ac0catenary]

@cheesemunster12. I do plan to get a blue conrail GG-1 and an Amtrak. Im very familiar with Nicolas smith trains I go there often and I have been going there for years. Although my layout is based on 1980s to present I have a "back in the Day" section at Broad street station which has cars from the 50's and 60's only. Broad street station was demolished in the 1950's so its appropriate

Wicked amazing as always! Those tracks need some ballast though! And how on Earth do you clean your rails with all of that catenary in the way? Or do you not need to clean them anymore since the power is from the overhead?

[ac0catenary]

@prorobo Thanks ..Yeah Im trying to install a signal system where I have to isolate some section of track so when im done the Signal system I will finally ballast. I do have to clean the dust and oxidation off every once and a while. Im using a Long stick with a track cleaner at one end to get between the cat and the rail.
