Good morning everyone. I got a chance to do a video update yesterday on the Albuquerque Carnuel & Tijeras RR.

I have nearly finished the Fifer Home on the ACTRR. I got the fencing in and the catle underpass to the backdrop as well as some new trees. I still need a garden and a cowboy or two with the cattle.

Well i have been doing some detail work and here it is.
Bee keepers and gardens added to the Fifer Home.  I finally found the BIG ARROW from when the tourist trap was on the previous layout.  Added details to Brownies Service Station.  I also finally got the crossing done and the yard tower as well as some out buildings and working on the fuel facillity.  Mike

Today I finally got the billboards together for the tourist trap. I made them in Photoshop then printed them on regular paper at the correct size. Then I sprayed both sides of the paper with Testors decal spray (I think it is just clear lacquer). Then I cut them out and sprayed the back with 3M 77 spray adhesive. I then stuck them to some thin styrene. Then I cut them out with scissors and applied the u channel to the backs and painted them by hand.
I then went out and mounted them on the layout. I think the effect is quite good.    Mike

I have completed 3 structures for the ACTRR. The first two are Downtown Deco Addams Ave 1 and 2 but one was narrowed front to back in half and the other was cut to angled to fit across from the Bus Depot. The Third is the existing Bowling alley (Robins Lakeside Lanes) with the inside milled out to accept the Miller Engineering sign.
Now to get them out on the layout permanently.     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRJke4HHXW0 Mike

Here is finally a method I came up with to make N Scale (or HO) yuccas.
I will try to do a how to and post it on our site soon. It only requires Tan, white and grey craft paint, woodland yellow grass turf, woodland white flowers and silflor summer tufts and thick ACC. Here are the results on the work bench.  Mike

Embedded the video for you. You can do that in the advanced mode, just put in the number without the website part, just the thKyNKCocu0 in between the Youtube brackets that come up when you press the YouTube button.
