  HISTORY OF THE O-SCALE "N.Y. CITY MODEL TRANSIT SYSTEM" -- 'EL' & TROLLEY - OPERATING EXHIBIT LAYOUT
  
  THE "NEW YORK CITY MODEL TRANSIT SYSTEM" - IN TWO-RAIL 1/4" O-Scale, was Designed and Built in fully Modular-Layout format, beginning back in January 1985.
  
  JOSEPH FRANK
  built this Layout so as to re-create the images and memories of the IRT & BMT Elevated Train Lines and the Trolley Car and Bus Surface Lines of earlier New York City, and to "capture" the look and feel of the multi - neighborhood N.Y. City scene panoramas that the "EL's" and their Rolling Stock passed through in the Era Period between 1940 through 1990's.
  
  JAMES BOYLAN

  is this layouts' over 3 decades long continuous partner since 1985, and he installed all the control systems, track blocks, lighting system circuits, and signal electrical circuits, and general wiring feeders and connectors, sockets, plugs, etc., for the entire layout system. Including initial sub-framing designs and assembly for each of the many connected individual Layout Modules.
  
  ****************************
  
  
  It was built as close to as "Modeling-Possible" Prototype true scale as an Operating Model Exhibit Re-creation of New York City Transit, past to near-present. This Layout is dedicated to all those who enjoy both the Prototype and Modeling realm of various types of N.Y. City Transit covering the past decades from 1940 onward. !!
