Looks great. What kind of engine is that?

I think it is a LifeLike SW8. It is just on a back and forth track on DC.
Thanks Mike

My question is, what's the yellow logo on the cars?

That explains it... didn't look the same with the edges of the circle cut off.

Here is what happened today on the ACTRR. I moved the caboose track from the yard side of the layout to the yard throat side to free up space in the yard area. I need to cut in the two turnouts in the yard picture maybe tomorrow.

New location at yard throat.

Old location in yard area where GP30 is sitting.

The best I could do holding the camera way over my head of the whole scope of the area.

Great overhead shot Mike. Really gives a feel for the overall layout.

Your scenicing is top notch. I really like the look of your dam and reservoir. :thumb: Maybe you could post some closeups of them?

Thanks Clark,Between the caboose tracks and the bridge over the river there will be a curved Icing rack and building , plus a small yard office at the caboose track for incoming crews and outgoing cabeese. Here is the latest from yesterday. I got the turnouts in the yard and added feeders to help with switching reliablity.

Thanks , Mike

Very nice Mike. I can't remember ever seeing a dam on a layout before. 'Course there are a LOT of things I can't remember. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
