Any Pics of HO-Scale Subway Models / Kits ?

Hi, new member here. Would love to see HO model subway pics. Just curious - are there any HO scale subway modelers out there ? Most of what is out there is O scale stuff and there are numerous sites and countless pics on the net devoted to the O guys. But there seems to be nothing on HO stuff in regards to pics (other than the stock pics from the very very few HO manufacturers like IHP, Island Model works). Since they manufacture these kits, anyone has any photos of the their finished kits or ever on going projects ? Or any pics of HO subway related stuff besides the usual Proto/Walters stuff ? Brass, Resin, Plastic ?

Hello RE17IRT

I started in HO scale with a huge HO Scale NYC EL &B trolley layout -- back around 1965, and went in to O Scale with a huge new layout by 1985-86 to present.

I have a Webpage PHOTO ALBUM of photos of my HO Scale modular-constructed Layout -- and will be adding to this ALBUM a lot more photos (and slides copied) of the layout taken back when it was fully set up and operating up to 1984.

Here is a sample photo





Here below is the LINK to the PHOTO ALBUM page:


HO NYC EL & TROLLEY EL

If you have never seen my O Scale Layout photos, perhaps you should check them out -- here is the LINK to the page of List Of ALBUMS -- click the cover page of any album to view its contained photos.

Hi Joe, I am VERY well aware of your legendary O work but wasn't aware that you did HO at one time. Thanks for the HO link. As others have pointed out here and probably a gazillion times in your life, your work is amazing. You are in my opinion, the gold standard when it comes to subway modeling.

Hi Transitchuck. Thanks for the IHP link. I basically am just getting back into the train hobby after over a decade. I was able to pick up some of the IHP kits from Mike on ebay and at the transit show at Rutgers last month. The challenge now is finding time in getting around to work on them.

I'm just wondering, does anyone have any "finished" pics of the subway kits from IHP (or Island Model Works or Image Replica). All have been around a while. Certainly there has to be modelers with built up cars to share. No ? C'mon, forum members, show me some inspiration !

Hello R17IRT

OK, I wasn't sure if you knew me. Well, now you see my early HO Layout. Here below are some links to sites you may enjoy if you haven't seen them already ! Many of these HO scale cars are finished from epoxy resin shell kits.

Joe,
I can only second all the above comments. Your work is beyond excellent and truly amazing!!!
As I've posted before, this is as close as we can get to time traveling back to NYC's glory days of rapid transit!!

Your rooftop black and white photos are "scarey" good, so realistic you'd think Walther Broschart or George Votava took them!

Nice photos. Where did you get the model of the BMT Bluebird?
