Hi Bill....

Thanks for the compliment.  Yep, the elevated stretch down the middle is
devoid of meaningful scenery in the area between the cut stone arched
viaduct and the single crossover near the city.  I can add the track
pans along there along with the ancillary equipment and make that
section into a focal point of sorts.  If you placed a carpenter's level
on the track, the bubble would not be in the center.  But the track is
more level than some other track and so it appears that it might
actually be level -- sort of.  Close enough for me.  Let's face it, the
entire RR is an illusion anyway.  If the illusion is good, why worry
about authenticity?  How's that for an anti-rivet counting philosophy?
Mere reduction is one thing, but making it look good is something else
again.

Hi All --

If you have seen Ed's railroad, it is one of the finest in the land, BUT
it 
ain't "water level" (maybe "water levels"?).   Ed, are you thinking of
the 
elevated stretch down the center of the railroad?

Whazat.....does the Water Level Route have a long space of LEVEL track?
What kind of a question is dat? Of course I have a really long stretch
of (apparently) level track. This IS the mighty NYC, y'know
