Awsome layout.... Love those modern buildings ...was going ask you where you got them but based on the comments....it appears you scratch built them..nice
Funny they call this the Route 6 because the actual Route 6 trolley ran from Cheltenham and Ogontz to Broad and Olney. The original Route 6 trolley ran all the way to Willow Grove (way back when). Cool display though!
I call this route 6 because its route 6 out of 7 routes. I Know of the route 6, I usta ride it when i was a kid. Although I would love to model this route I dont have the space this whole city fits in a room in my basement which is 18 x 15. Most of which I built From Scratch!
@davejerrido I thought the same thing. I wasn't alive during the trolley 6 days but I'm very much familiar with the route 6 bus. Nonetheless, this is phenomenal.
wow dude this is great...every time i ride the El or the regional or any of septas services i always think about recreating the routes ..but where do i find septa trollys buses and regional rail and the El ? please tell me its been a huge dream for like 3 yrs now
Very impressive downtown scene! Almost hard to believe it is HO scale! Only negative is the sound -- perhaps the video mic was making it sound louder than it really is?
Anyway, clearly you are a master modeler, and my HO layout urban areas will never know the skills and dedication you have invested in yours.
In what area of this world does your layout reside?

Tom, all the highrise buildings, 30th street station, trolley wires,trolley tracks, bridges & PRR catenary is all stratch built.
All trolleys are modified with LED lighting (some multi-directional)and DCC. the only store bought stuff are the smaller buildings.
