ACTRR my be dismantled and re-constructed

Here is what I have been doing here while off work.
I decided the yard was way to much at the front of the layout so here is what I did and seems to work well and gives more scenery space as well as better scenery transition.

Mike,

Your latest video is great!!!!
The changes that you made in your yard area has given me some ideas for re-working my yard area as I do not like what I currently have on my layout, but it will have to wait until I get back home.

Thanks!!!!!!
 
Mike,

I am in Monticello, MN working at a Nuke Plant starting this Tuesday.
I am staying at an extended stay motel about 30 minutes South of the plant.
Arrived up her this evening and am hoping to be able to get hone every couple of weeks or so to check on the house and work on the layout for a day goldtoth1 and then back up here.

In the mean time I follow the forums and the auction sites and plan what I will do to the layout when at home.

I'm sure glad I'm not the only one who likes to make changes as the needs (or layout boredom in my case) arise! Nice changes very functional and pleasing to the eye. Removing the yard on the main part of the layout really makes a big difference. I'll have to keep that in mind next time I build a layout. Very cool! Great video. Thanks again for posting and keep us all up to date!

Bill,

I just noticed you are using Homasote (somethings take me a while!) Any particular reason? Does it cut down on noise or is it just easier to work with rather than plywood? I've never used it and was just wondering?

Thanks,
Paul

Paul , Yes Homasote is a great product. It is basicly recycled paper compressed into a 5/8ths sheet. I use it because it cuts easily (with the proper tool) and holds track nails very very well.
If you cut it with any type of electric saw it make a TREMENDOUS amount of dust . I use a jig saw with a modified knife blade. I take the standard knife blade and every 1/16" I take a Dremel tool with a cutoff wheel and notch the blade. This will cut without much dust.
It is extreamly hard to find but a good real lumber yard may be able to get it. The last time I bought it , it was $25.00 a sheet:cry:.
Thanks , Mike
