MBTA Green Line Train
The next step in this extensive build will be the base work for the future MBTA Green line rail system that will traverse the new module. I have lived around Boston my whole life and it was only a thought but after my trip in the fall to Amsterdam, I was inspired by the GVB system and made me take a second look at the modeling possibilities I had right in front of me. The MBTA's Green line. Because the track is set into the city streets, this part has to be laid out and installed before the top deck is permanently fixed. Because this requires cutting completely through the 1/4" base, it had to be done half and half so I did not lose the close tolerances needed for this to work effectively and also be realistic as possible.
