    Well gang , here is a very short scenery update on the ACTRR. I am making slight headway on the conception.

    I will be quite interested in seeing how you create that sawmill, as described in #35.

    I worked in a couple of saw mills. While equipped with the same type of machinery, both were quite different in layout. So you aren't really confined to any particular arrangement. You don't even need the standard model RR mill pond, as many mills had dry docks, which also saved space.

    Having trouble getting your video to work, but the pics look great! That's going to be a great scene.

    Got back on the layout today and got the rock area blended in with the exclusion of water and foliage. Track also needs ballasting.
