The 7 is just about done, meaning its about 80-85% is complete. There are some minor fixes and details that have to be added. Actually if anyone is goes by QB Plaza on the 7 I need a pic of the 59th st bridge from the platform for some added scenery. :)

Sounds great! By the way, is this going to be a 5th generation route?

Explain, 5th generation route? ???
from an excerpt of http://wiki.bvestation.com/index.php?title=Generations (http://wiki.bvestation.com/index.php?title=Generations) :
"Fifth generation routes will feature up to 85%+ photo textures, objects, and structures are to be accurately depicted, and the route may also finally feature working safety systems. The tracks, tunnels and columns should also be replaced with photo-realistic ones, as seen in the London Underground routes. Anything under this category would classify as a fifth generation route.
The Rockaway Shuttle, a collaborative BVEStation development is planned to be a fifth generation route. The project is still in its conceptual planning stages, and no actual development has been started yet.
Currently this generation is only achieved as eye candy and serves as future blueprints."
basically its more detailed etc, like the F that's being made, The R and Bill's E route may lead to the A to Far Rockaway also but yeah its more realistic :) ill research it more to get more detailed information asap

Basically, a 5th generation route is a route where more than 85% of the stations and objects are photos put together. That way, the station will look exactly like the real station, and therefore it's like you're actually the route in real life.
I haven't find one yet but according to this site, the Grand Street Shuttle will be one in the future.

My L will just be about 5th generation...
-
5th Gen routes are nice, but I personally don't have the time to go to subway lines and take photos of the route. I would love to, but it's not possible. Maybe at a later date it can be updated to a 5th Gen route. ;)
-
Hey, getting something done is better than nothing. 5th gen or not. ;)

yeah it is(i think), if you look closely in the background i could see two track levels one on top of another like the one in qnz-boro plaza, and that little thingy in the far right where the (N) train goes

Just asking, Is the 7 on hold or development right now and is the Queen bound 7 Train going to be redo.

Just asking, Is the 7 on hold or development right now and is the Queen bound 7 Train going to be redo.
1: The Manhattan-bound (7) is on hold because the developer is still in need of content and resources for the stretch from 33rd-Rawson and south.
2: The Queens-Bound (7) train will not be redone in the near future, although anything is possible; Maybe sometime in the future when the developers have the time.

Am I blind or there is absolutely no reference in content contributor regarding this 7 line update to contribute to? If so please tell me where, otherwise "go here" leads to dead end tracks, no pun intended.

Hey Edwag, I saw your new vids on youtube, so Im guessing you are resuming this project. Best of luck :D

Sweet, i have Southbound announcements from about 52nd to 42nd, if you want. i just need to convert them.

what is the statue on this route if i may ask
-
The statue on this line is one of many wayside signals made by the Union Switch and Signal Company (US&S). When installed, these signals contained an invention that received US Patent #1,453,535 (http://www.google.com/patents/US1453535), issued May 1, 1923. This fact is actually featured on the back of many signal cases still in use on this line. However, these were recently replaced with LED fixtures.
There are at least two models of US&S signal used on this line. The more common one is still manufactured by its successor, Ansaldo STS USA. This is simply known as the Transit model. Features include 5-inch aspect lenses and a variety of unit configurations.
The other US&S model frequently seen on this line is not manufactured by ASTS, but a similar model is being made. I am calling this model the N3, as the modern ASTS N2 is similar in appearance to it. The N3 has a slightly larger, 6.25-inch aspect diameter and uses one of two lengths of hood, though I have seen one N3 signal on this line that has both hood lengths installed.
Other recent signal installations on the 7 line include wayside signaling by Safetran Systems Corporation.
The newest installation (not yet active, but signals can be seen near the Times Square interlocking) uses signals manufactured by Alstom. These appear to be their AT model, which gets its roots from a model produced by the General Railway Signal Company of Rochester, New York.
