Just some shots of the recently finished Unionport Yard for the
. Next up is the smaller (and thanks to the new configuration, easier to build) E. 180 St Yard. To my beta testers: Around this time next week you should receive instructions in your inbox over at BDC Projects about how to get the route/session file.
Looking north, yard leads on the right, old NY&B on the far right.
Inside Yard view. Tk 22 connecting to Y2 in the distance
Overhead View--the empty space in the mid-left will be the E 180 St Yard soon.
Enjoy! More to come later on.
P.S. Yes, I will be adding the third rail splines later on. What?! There are third rail splines?! Yes, check the EL station kit, you'll find several varieties!

I got caught up in the scenery around E180, and I finished the inspection shed for the E180 yard and connected it to the yard leads, so here are some shots of the finished product. I didn't get to Dyre or the
tonight, but tomorrow's Friday---so more work over the weekend!
Enjoy!

I've finished the Dyre line in its entirety. I never knew how many street bridge crossings this short stretch had, so most of the evening was dedicated to making sure those were in the accurate spots. Here are some shots, with minimal scenery to make it look nice 
I took a video of the entire southbound shuttle to give you guys a preview of the route, but it's taking a long time to upload, so that'll be posted tomorrow. BETA Testers: I will actually follow through on a deadline this time! The end of the weekend is here, and I'm gathering up all of the necessary files before packaging up the CDP and sending it out. Remember, look in your inbox at BDC Projects for the link and instructions. Refer to the post on that board to remind you who has which route and what portions. Except for a few sparse areas, none of the route is signalled.

IRT Progress Report:
The (2) has been truncated to East 180 St, due to the massive rebuild of the WPR line that I had to start a few weeks back. I'll be getting on that at the end of the week. In other news, the (7) has finally made it into Queens--those tunnels are steep!
I shall start signalling the easiest portions of the system--which is almost nothing, haha. I'll start on the (7) and the (1) south of Chambers and see how far I get before I go cross eyed.

Working on the
Queensboro Plaza station. It was too unique to kit-bash.
Enjoy!

Hey hey now, Strain. Let's all be calm.
@Boc: Yes, this will be released to the public when the IRT route is finished, as it's part of the (7) line.

Looking forward to it. I spent my youth riding the 7 back and forth to Shea Stadium.

@Boc:
Awesome! Currently, I'm taking a break from the remaining Bronx routes (4 & 6) and working exclusively on the (7). Keep your eyes peeled for some progress shots during the week!
@Scott:
That is being put on hold while I'm working on the IRT Route.
