The Atlantic and Southern Build Thread Continued, Part 2

[ACL1504]

I dunno Tom.......

This is getting cool...... 

If you are not careful you are going to have a real railroad on your hands here..

see ya
Bob

Bob,

Thanks, much apprecitate you stopping by the thread. I told the Judge we need to apply for a Federal Grant and use the money on the railroad. The Dodo birds in DC would probably give it to us. But then one day they come knocking on the door and want all the money back with interest.

Tom,
Your scenery continues  to amaze me.  Keep it coming.

Jim

Butty Jim,

Thank you for the kind words on the scenery. Stay tuned as I'll be posting more scenery pictures in next few days.

[ACL1504]

Wow, what a thread!   I'm going to give this a good looking over.  Nice job Tom!

Leo,

Thank you kind sir for the compliment on the layout work. Check it out and let me know how it looks from Texas.

I have a little update for today but I'm still behind on the thread.

I filled in the north reverse loop area with the basic scenery. I let the grass encroach on the reverse tracks as the A&S doesn't spray for weeds in the back woods.





I have about 75+ trees to add to this area.

More in a few.

[ACL1504]

Today I finished the trees for the reverse loop area.

It doesn't look like it but in this container I have 39 trees ready to be planted. I have another 35 in a box under the layout.

I also have some of Kris Cutler's fantastic trees to use as fore ground trees.



The area should look similar to the area behind the lubritorium as shown below.

Scenery is coming along very nicely Tom.  What is your plan to hide the Helix?

[ACL1504]

Steve,

Thank you for the compliment.

Hiding the Ovalix is a long sad story. But, here it is in a few words. The Ovalix will stay in view. I was going to put the Helix in the opposite corner of the room and close it in. However, the Judge wants to sit at the lubritorium and watch the trains go around, around and around again, up and down and down and up.

There you have it.

Looking good Tom. 

[PRR Modeler]

Looking really good Tom. I look forward to seeing your progress.

[JusticeCity]

Can't wait Tom ... here is an idea... Make the ovalix look like a parking garage with those circular exit ramps. Or how about turn it into an office building with large glass windows

Once the Judge issues a ruling, the matter is closed (until further appeal)...only the Babe is a higher court and I imagine she will declare this matter to be frivolous and unworthy of her attention.

Tom,

Are you telling me that the judge is a little dizzy?

[tct855]

ACL 1504,
     Hey, I was just perusing your great pictorial here and I'm not sure if you mentioned this before or not.  On your helix, was curious, what technique are you going to use to hide it or are you, when you get to that point? Thanx Thom...

[ACL1504]

Looking good Tom. 

Greg,

Thank you and thanks for the SB coupons.
