Todays Progress on the ACTRR

[fifer]

Here is what I was finally able to do (railroad related) today. The Glacier Gravel Building is built stock , I am just bashing the conveyors. Got to move to the other side now. You will not see the backside from the layout front , just the rear conveyor.

Thanks so much Clark (and all of you) as I have been kinda lazy on the layout. I hope to have some additional time with winter coming.
Thanks All , Mike

I really like the look of that layout. After seeing that picture I had to do a search to find more pictures of your layout. Looks great.

[fifer]

little more work done

This morning I finally sat down and decaled some ACTRR Micro-Trains Data Boxcars. They depict three stages of development of the railroad.

Note that the third picture is a MT shell on a modified Model Power track cleaner. These three cars will most likely all become cleaners.
I am also headed to th train room as I got the unobtainium plant mounted yesterday and plastered in place. I will be ballasting track and coloring earth and rock piles.
