Amtrak NEC in HO

[PRRNut]

I am planning to build an Amtrak NEC layout from NY Penn Station to Newark International Airport STN. I was simply wondering...would be a treacherous task to recreate the traffic levels of the NEC in HO?

...would be a treacherous task to recreate the traffic levels of the NEC in HO?

i don`t know, if it is, but it is difficult enough, to do the soldering for the correct catenary and poles. You need lots of tracks, when you want to create a 4track runway....typical for the NEC.
And you need lots of engines (we own at the moment 10 bli gg1; 11 bachmann e33......)to create the traffic (remember, on the NEC runs every 2minutes a train...).
We startet with a "static" layout (the wilmington facilities), then we grow up and now we have about 20meters NEC and a little NT transit with the corrct poles and catenary and now we add 4,5 meters streetrunning......).
