How does one get the fractional angle viaducts (these look like FAR-2) with the NAM 37 RC real railway? I can think of so many uses for these!

Same Tab-ring as the above showed OxD, DxO piece. FLEX Turn-outs last 2-3 items. Then you drag 3 tiles on the fractional end to make the viaducts.

This is really cool. Look forward to the end result. Could also see this being incorporated into a larger stockyard-style freight yard.

Yes! Ice docks were found near stockyards or fruit packing plants (and fruit crate manufacturers!)

@Eggman121  Looks nice - what's up with the mixed textures though?  And is that greyish texture new to the latest NAM installment?

Almost! ;):) 

That's indeed the Hybrid Railway (HRW), but it came with the NAM 38 and it came with a different colour variation. This variation is a new reskin version (similiar to the RRW ReSkin).
Great work @Eggman121! :)

That's some city....incredibly impressive. I see the elevated line has a station right opposite the rail terminal. Good planning, that.

Grand Central Terminal in New York had that for many years, too...a two-block elevated shuttle to the Third Avenue El. 

Here it is between 1915 and 1919...they were building the Commodore Hotel. That has been replaced by the Hyatt.

Is the statue the Siegessaule or Nelson's Column? It looks like the Victory Column to me.

Stupid additions from me:

The construction in the foreground is for the Bowery Savings Bank.

Notice the "Broadway Battleship" trolley car at left on Park Avenue, heading south.

Also note the cast-iron bishop's crook lamppost at the southeast corner of Park and 42nd Street...the viaduct to connect it with the tunnel at 40th Street has not been created yet.

I LOVE old photos of New York!

The shuttle train is a two-car wooden train of the gate variety. The NYCTA's Transit Museum has a two-car wooden train in PERFECT CONDITION, can run, and do anything. But they can't take people on fantrips on it, because it's made of wood. One spark and KABOOM! *:D
