Thanks Rick , I have tried to learn that one needs scenic space and not ALL railroad.
Thanks , Mike

Here is the newest work for the ACTRR. This weekend I built a Bar Mills Banks Icing Platform.
I still need to add roofs and paint he whole thing.
You can also see the silo's to the Walthers ADM grain elevator that I split in two and primed for sanding.
The icing platform will go near the depot on that same side of the yard.

That looks really good Mike. There's a lot work in that with the stairs and ladders and railings.

 

Actually it is a pretty easy kit. The parts are all laser cut and basicly laminate on top of each other to produce the hand built look. The stairs are a whole different animal , (pit bull).
Thanks , Mike

 

In addition to what others have said, what really impresses me about this scene is the natural looking flow you have achieved with the Unitrack. Well done!

Thanks Gary , I need to do a lot more work there also.
Thanks , Mike

 

Mike,

As always looking good.

I have that same Micky D's and have the same idea for it as you did, Christmas is a great time of the year for model railroading and the decoration companies now and then come out with things that are very close to N-scale that can be used on our layouts.

 

Here is the final product after paint and matching to the Icehouse I already had. This is now a mix of a Bar Mills Banks Ice House kit and JL Innovative Design Brookside Icehouse kit.
I really like the results.
(Yes I know) the one ice handler seems to be intoxicated!

Thanks , Mike

 

I was able to squeeze in a little model railroading this weekend. I got the ranch well under way on the right side of the entry door.
I still need to finish the field in the foreground , the river and ditch.





Thanks , Mike

 

Mike,

As always what you do on your layout helps all of us to strive for that look on our own layouts!!

 

Thanks boiler, it's kind of funny, I get most of my ideas look at other peoples layouts!
Of course there is a lot of looking at the real world and perceiving the real world in your own mind and with my mind I'm kind of surprised that the layout doesn't like a Picasso painting!!!

 

New ACTRR

I have had some time in the last couple weekends to finish the river , irrigation ditch and ranch.
Here is how it all turned out.









Thanks , Mike
