Mike,
The layout is looking very good, I like the yard area that you have created with easy access.:thumb:

Thanks , Mike

Mike,
It's simple, trainic77.com. How's that for originality? Not a very good website, but a good place to show pictures!
Thanks,
Paul

Mike,
I have to admit your layout is my inspiration. Your track plan fit the space I have to work with perfectly. I hope you don't mind? Thanks,

Here is an extension I did yesterday to my Turntable area. I moved the fascia out about 5" and filled it in and place some new trackage in this area.

This is todays progress , I got a lot of plastering done and the right hand facia up. All the facia is done and the Un-obtainium mine has found a home as well as the mine train. The dry wash area was also plastered and that whole end of the layout is ready for base scenery.
Mike
Fifer, great work! Just a quick question, what kind of plaster did you use for mountains?
Here is the ALMOST finished entrance left corner. Also the service road along one end of the yard.
This has been this weeks project.
SD90 , I used woodland plaster cloth.

Mike,
The McDonald's on your layout takes me back to the early 60's when I would frequent that local establishment in my town and the burgers were about $00.15 each and with Cheese $00.19, (the good old days).

Yep , we had one too when I was real little. We also had a place called Griff's but I guess they feel by the wayside.

Here is the newest work for the ACTRR. This weekend I built a Bar Mills Banks Icing Platform.
I still need to add roofs and paint he whole thing.
You can also see the silo's to the Walthers ADM grain elevator that I split in two and primed for sanding.
The icing platform will go near the depot on that same side of the yard.
