I've also started a layout with the R17 and R21 from Hobby Images as my rolling stock. I had planned a subway section but I'm not sure that I will go through with it. I had planned it as a shelf layout, placing the tracks at eye level and allowing the viewer to "see through" one tunnel wall by leaving it open. You may want to consider something along those lines.
For my elevated structures, I've gone through the trouble of making molds and casting my elevated structures in order to build the layout. After a "prototype" run, I'm now in the process making a second set of molds and "going into production" so that I can finally start building the layout. These new molds have design improvements that will allow me to build sturdier structures than my original design.
Keep an eye out on my web site (http://www.iop.com/~patv). The stuff that's there is old but I expect to start putting new material and tips up there as I build the layout.
