Station Agent
Hello All,
I am just starting a model of the south shore line that runs from south bend to chicago. I was wondering if anyone could answer a few questions for me.
First, I started out in the hobby with power-loc, and I hate it. What would be my best bet for track? I am really leaning twards code 83 flextrack.
Next, I want to model millennium station in downtown chicago as it is today. The station is underground, so my thought in modelling it is to use two sheets of extruded pink foam, and carve out a gradually sloping channel that eventually goes undeground to run track in. On top of this, I will attempt to build a representation of modern-day downtown chicago. Will this work, and look realistic? Check out these pics to give you a better idea of what I'm trying to do
Thanks!
