    Well guys , a lot of progress has be made on the Albuquerque Carnuel and Tijeras Railroad. I have now completed the installation of the helix and lower staging yard and all seems to run well so far. The maximum train length on the ACT is and has been about 12 cars plus 2 to 4 locomotives (as dictated by the upper level sidings). We will now have a rule similar to ATSF that will dictate a minimum of 2 locomotives per train for power to incline and decline purposes in the district.
    Here is video # 33 and we hope you will take a look.

    Hello all and Happy New Year. I am moving along on the stage II of the ACTRR. I did a new video that explains the plan beyond the staging yard efforts.
    I hope you all take a look and enjoy.

    Really good ideas there Mike. What has resonated with me from this is the set out tracks and switching ideas. I need to reduce some track density and add more industries and industry spurs. Thanks for lighting the bulb in my brain!

    I like how your layout is evolving. Decision making on the go seems like a lot of fun for you, and doing it that way has always been so for me. Noting that glue gun with a six foot long stick, I've used mine more and more as the years go by. Great tool!

    I'm not sick of these videos, at all. In fact, when there is not one after a bit of time passes, I start wondering what happened. :uhoh:
