The Atlantic and Southern Build, Part 1

[ACL1504]

Dr. Jeff,

This isn't scary -


This is though - the underside of one of four control panels for the lower level staging.

[ACL1504]

I decided to donate my oak antique display case to the ACL/SAL Historical Society along with a few other railroad related items. The display case takes up an area of 2 1/2 ft. by 6 1/2 ft. It has a bottom shelf and top glass shelves. It came from an old department store here in Orlando.



I'll take a tax deduction for the items but more importantly I'll be able to get more space for trackage down the middle on the second level. However, the one big problem is that I used the display case to house many of the built structures I'll use on the layout. Now they are housed along the East wall of the second level. I'll find a home for them in a few boxes until I actually need them.



Continued in a few.

There are some good looking buildings back there Tom. I'm sure there is some great stories to go along with them. I'm loving the updates, keep them coming.

Dustin,

Thanks very much. Unfortunately I won't be able to used a few of them. The white SRMW kit is probably one of them. It worked on the old layout but not the new one. And, I have no where to store it either.

Tom,
Thanks for sharing those recent structure photos this week.
Don't see the Ed Fulasz 3 story brick tenement building or the Master Creations Fanny Schwann's built by too many people. 
Nice work !!!

Hello Tom,

Great solution with the curved turnout for your derail problem. And those are some fantastic looking structures .

Keep the updates coming.

Tom,

Thank you for the kind words of encouragement, much appreciated. The EF 3 story structure was built long prior to Jimmy D. taking over the kits from Ed. It was also my first hydrocal kit if I remember correctly. It has been in the display case for at least 10+ years. Fanny Schwann's was built about that time also.

The 3 story tenements, I plan to build two others, will make a great "across the tracks" slum area.

Chris,

Appreciate you stopping by for a look or two. Thanks for the kind words as well. The derail issue was a severely needed fix for smooth running of the trains.

My ears certainly perked up regarding the SRMW mill. I think I have a spot for it on my NEW layout!




Beautiful buildings. The tenement is great.

Tom , I just love that 3 story tenement , I have some wood ones for my layout but sure wish these were also available in N-scale . Great brick work and weathering on the wood work.

I'm really impressed with the work you have done on this kit.
