The Bay Ridge Elevated Railway Project
Просмотров 5212 года назад
The O scale traction modular layout featured here was built specifically as a base for the NYC style elevated structure rescued from the Bay Ridge Model Railroad Club. The club was active, in the same location from 1947 to 2019, when they were evicted. I was a member from 1978 to 1989. The scenes represent Brooklyn, NY in the 1940s to 1950. All the track, streets, sidewalks, overhead trolley wi...

Bay State Model RR Museum - O Scale Trolley Lines
Thanks, Steve!
Glad to see another perspective of this event. I was on cars 4145 and 2227 that day as a motorman and conductor.
Thank you for your service as a volunteer! You all made our experience extra special. Everyone we met at the museum was wonderful!
Is the overhead on the models live or what?
Or what?? Yes the overhead wire and the third rail is 12 volts DC.
@@sctransit Thanks. Neat to find out it's working overhead power.
Does the museum use the PA trolley guage tracks
Yes it does.
@@sctransit dumb question I know but I just wanted to ask
@@zazaranger5 Not a dumb question at all. The trolley museum in Scranton, PA is standard gauge.
what is trolley gauge?
@@musicman8942 O scale.
Nice video. The real trolleys seem to be going too slow (understandable) and the model cars go too fast.
To be fair, our rule book says track speed in the yard is limited to 5mph. The mainline is limited to 30, but most operators never need to go track speed unless they're making up for lost time.
Awesome video Steve
Thanks a lot !!
You are welcome!
Layout’s only spoiled by non scale stop/start and speed of the cars?
Love the SEPTA consist at the end!
Nice 👍
Love that Boeing Vertol Light Rail Vehicle! Got one for my birthday as a kid, to run on my layout.
Bonito yo conoci 3 modelos en Costa Rica
Anyone know the width of the first layout? I am guessing it's 2.5'.
I remember these trolleys in the mid 90s they use to run on Germantown ave route 23.
Espero que haya H0🚃🚃
Imponente 👍😊🆙‼️❗❗‼️❗
looks like it was filmed in the 1990s
Very nice.
Absolutely spectacular! Black and white makes it particularly realistic. True artistry and craftsmanship.
Thank you very much!
Wow nice video you put together. Thanks for sharing
2 of the members, Bill George and Bob Kretzschmar owned a machine shop in Bay Ridge and they showed me along with some machining practices , how to make the elevated structure and the jigs they used to make the tracks and structure itself and I borrowed the jigs to make my own track and structure the track is still bundled and awaiting placement on my layout. the original structure was crafted from an engineering plastic named Noryl, it has a shiny slick slightly oily feel and look to it. it was assembled using MEK I think. they made the jigs in the machine shop using a Bridgeport Mill and syringes to apply the MEK. The late Vern Gilman who was a draftsman by trade worked with them to produce it as well as showing me exactly how he produced and created and the techniques used to make his strathmore board R10s
@Robert Andreone, I saw an elevated scratch built by a young man in Brooklyn, it looked so real that I thought it was an actual photo. He did a brooklyn El,. This one reminded me of his but this one looked more like a model.
@@masterdeeable1 ive scratchbuilt a 3ft section of EL as an experiment and painted it Hunter green. I scratchbuild my own subway track , cutting my own ties & hand spiking rail including walkway, have to add handrails when its mounted.
@@robertravena cool can’t wAit to see it, hope it’s soon😃
@@masterdeeable1 i have photos of it in my fb photos section.with a R30 sitting on it

Very cool, great place to visit.
Is this HO scale or O???
It looks to me like both HO and O scale modular layouts are shown at the meet.
It's quite unusual to see accurate models of the PCCs that ran in Boston, since (to my knowledge) the Boston trolleys were the only PCC cars fitted with "street side" doors, I believe for use in the trolley subway. I would love to model a PCC train someday, once my modeling skills, and finances, are up to par with what the project would require. These cars look truly stunning, I can only say "wow!" and compliment the make/modeler responsible for them! Love your Boeing car too! There's something curiously attractive about their boxy, 'modern' 1970s design.
wheres your clrv?
I thought they were sold out.
Cool where can I get these?
Toronto transit fan R Check out my Toronto Transit Model site at www.torontotransitmodels.org for information on CLRV kits.
@@sctransit Possible to buy a pre built model?
Great video!
Toronto transit fan R Thank you!
OMG....the GG1's!!!
Just wondering why, with all the unbelievable attention to detail - and it is most impressive - the models aren't run at 'scale speed' as well. Some of those trolleys look like they're going 50 - 60 mph in what would be a 30 mph route...
I was there. Did you get any pics of the Northeast Corridor? That was very neat.
pontiac ´´parlorcoach 04´´ best beautifull world legend
Awesome!!
Excellent!!
you folks ever hear of SCALE speed
Jud Powell The Broad St line produced whiplash in both directions. Plus maybe some lost teeth when your mouth hits the seat back in front of you.
Probably the only time the trailer car was ever used on an excursion.
They could be more realistic with DCC progamming. Also there weren't many people on an otherwise outstanding scale display.
Nice convention. Awful video. The dots between cuts, especially. Hold the damned camera in one place! Unnecessary zooms. Almost unviewable.
is there gonna be one in 2018

nycmodeltransit is it free to get in?
I like the snow removal trolley
Where did you get that building that looks like the bridge and Pratt terminal ?
Mr Big That building was scratch built by Dave Gairo. We are currently working on the Elevated structure that runs on Frankford Ave. to put in front of the building.
nycmodeltransit but was I correct is that a model of the bridge & Pratt terminal building ?
Mr Big Yes, it is, but artistic license was used to fit it into the loop. It is somewhat condensed, but still recognizable!
beautiful bus and bus ride pulling into port authority
I couldn't wait to ride that bus
ho know about the 107 to NEW York
wow very cool do you know if they make a trolley in s gauge ?
Robert Southrey There are shapeways bodies available for Peter Witt and PCC cars.
Very rarely, I see S gauge PCC cars on eBay, but they don't look very nice. I know I saw a site somewhere that sold body kits for trolleys in HO, S, and O, but I can't remember what they called themselves, and can't find their site. I know they had a very nice looking body kit for a snow sweeper. There used to be a small company called Putt Trains, that made a very nice S scale Birney car you could buy for either AC or DC operation, but from what I understand they weren't around long, and the cars are pretty tricky to find currently. It's certainly much easier to find shells for S scale models than it is to find trucks and motors for them, I wonder if you'd have luck modifying an HO scale drive mechanism to S by re-gauging it? I've seen an O scale trolley model that used this strategy to use what appeared to be HO scale diesel locomotive power trucks. The original side frames were removed, and the axles were extended to the proper gauge. Might work for S, but I've never tried it myself!
Did Dick Bell bring his 1/2" scale equipment?
