Atlantic and Southern RR - Throw Back Thursday

[Lynnb]

Nice tutorial on making the roads, Ive always been a bit leary on making concrete roads.

Lynn,

Thank you, much appreciated. Making concrete roads is really easy. I think it can't get any easier than I explained.

I removed the old layout as I just wasn't happy with what I was doing. I didn't like the mountains as the ACL never went through any tunnels. Mountains take a lot of space and I wanted that space to go towards more traditional Florida scenery.

Here are the links to the two parts of the new layout. The first part deals with the removal of the old layout and some of my thoughts as to why I made the change.

You can read and view the first part but I locked the thread so you can't leave any comments.

You can view, leave comments and read the second part.

I look forward to your thoughts and comments on the new layout.

As we move north of the water tank and highway overpass we come to the first small lubritorium I built.

The ACL 4-6-2 is on one of the yard lead tracks. I'll show that area next week.

More in a few.

I promised TCT855 I'd post something on this thread this evening.

I have about 30+ more pictures but didn't get them cropped and loaded.

Here is a photo to show how solid my old bench work was in the good ole days.

Over-achiever Tom, staying on top of things, or as we say up north you're sittin' on your duff.  KP-out...

And you think I over stress bench work.....I'm an amateur compared to you.

Thom,

I've always been fond of sitting on the job. I do it very well!
