And a few more!

More in a few.

More still-
Yes, I'm screwing myself - no pun intended! Re-cycling saves $$$$$!

Continued in a few.

Now I'm getting into the areas I really hated to remve. I keep my eye on the new prize which will be a new, improved Atalntic and Southern. The photos from here on will be of the areas of the layout I spent the most time on doing. Of course this includes the Mitchrooney Curve, High Trestle, Three Pine Junction, Helper Service Set Out, Highway Overpass, Coaling, Diesel Repair, Turntable and Roundhouse.

But first is the Mitchrooney Curve removal.

More in a few.

The removal! The stone section you see in the next few photos was build one stone at a time.

Yes, more to follow.

Retaining wall removed.

Four more for today!

ACL1504 · March 20, 2014, 06:06:28 PM

The last of the High Trestle and Three Pine Junction.

That's all for today!

Jan,

Thanks for checking in, much appreciated. Yes, but this boy ain't looking back! It was sure fun while it lasted.

Just trying to stay focused on the new layout. I certainly learned alot from the building of this old one.

This is getting hard to watch - you need to get started on that new layout so we can look back at this and say now I know why he did it.
