New layout

Mike,

The layout is looking great. Love the trestle nestled in the mountains. A really dramatic appearance.

I still have the Mesilla Valley anniversary envelope. I haven't gotten around to mailing it yet. Welcome to Procrastination Station! LOL

I heard rumors that the A & T and ACT are comtemplating a merger, lines meeting somewhere just west of El Paso. Oh ya, maybe Rosa's Cantina! LOL

Ore Car

This is 1 of the 5 draw-bared 26' ore cars I lettered and will run back and forth to the mine under the mountain trestle.
Thanks Guys
Mike

Amazing!

Amazing progress, you must have lot's of free time or you do work very fast, in any case it's quality work.

Your Progress

Fifer,

I just had to say the latest pics are REALLY something! Marc Gast mentioned a merger - we'd have to go through a time continuum to accomplish that, but what the heck. :D

River Done

Ok Guys , this weekend I poured the Enviro-Tex in the river and finshed the edges and soldered in the bridges.

Top View

This is an aireal view. The double track bridge goes into the station and yard , while the long single track goes to the engine facility. The small single track is the main line around the lake.

Hey Marc

A little more water up there and we would have a river right now.
The Rio Grande is a dune buggy strip now. I hope it snows like heck in Colo. this winter.
