The Atlantic and Southern Build Thread Continued, Part 3

[ACL1504]

I drew the foot print of where Jefferies will be located.



Roadway added -



More in a few.

Some good news is that the wood platform didn't warp when dried.



Scenery will be next to the road and building as it was on the diorama.



I have room for two additional nice sized building on the right and left but not sure what they will be at this time.

More in a few.

Here are a few views of Jefferies to give you some perspective of where it's located in relation to the other surrounding structures.

John,

Thank you my friend, it was an easy decision after what happened two years ago.

And, you are welcome, my pleasure in sharing the layout progress.

I've been testing a few structures in this area. This one is Four Aces Salvage, the first ever build challenge on the forum.

Of course the structure would sit further back from the tracks.

I'm thinking of using this area as an old salvage/junk yard. This is only a thought for now. I'll leave it a few days to see how I like it.

Of course this would look better in the location.



I'm thinking very seriously about getting the three kits and building one for the A&S RR.

And the journey begins on Part 3.....I'll be looking keeping an eye on things from the cheap seats.....you know me better than to think I would go for the close in box seats, don't you?

Uncle Tommie,
Congratulations on reaching part three of the thread.  That is truly amazing!  I like the placement of four aces salvage building.  I think you should go for it.

Now a comment on a post at the end of part two.  While every model railroader owns and knows how to turn on a sawsall, not everyone know how to use one SAFELY,   Case in point during a recent layout tear down, I witnessed someone going thru a live power line with said tool.  The fact that me and the operator lived to tell the tale is nothing short of amazing.  And no, I wasn't the operator but I was working nearby when it happened.

So Please, Look before you leap with this widowmaker-9000 class tool.  And Don't try this at home!
