The Atlantic and Southern Build, Part 1

[GPdemayo]

Let me see if I understand this naming thing......my railroad has been called the Southern Division of the Atlantic & Southern RR, by Tom for some time.  Now I guess it becomes a part of the Atlantic & Southern System, ASS.  So I guess it should now be known as the Southern Atlantic & Southern System, SASS, or maybe The Southern Division of the Atlantic & Southern System, SaDASS.

This is mind boggling.

Jim,

I'm thinking it could be worse, or worse yet, it will! We'll keep your SASS in the South.

Tom

At our ages, the're all heading south.

I'm sure glad we got the naming thing cleared up. Time to get back to building a railroad.

The CB&Q didn't get quite that far south.

Jeff,

The Atlantic and Southern has leased three Burlington diesels and 11 Zepher cars. With the increase in local traffic, the A&S now has a Florida Zepher.

Hey, remember me? Yep, I'll be back after the EXPO. Over the past few months I've been painting my derriere off on a few pieces of brass.

I need to clean my back shop work area off.



Structure building area needs to be clean up as well.



More in a few.

[ACL1504]

While working on the brass locos, I've even become very lazy on letting "crap" build up on the layout. All the layout and track areas will be cleaned up as well prior to the EXPO.




When I get back I want to jump right in on the layout work and not have to take the time to clean it up.

See ya'll after the EXPO.

Funny how everything turns up on unfinished layout areas.

Maybe while everyone is gone, I'll try to clean up the Train Room.

Andy,

It happens more than I want it to.

Jim,

Thanks, I'll leave the key under the mat.

Tom,

Your Train room looks a lot cleaner than mine. how about taking a picture looking from the bookcase into the room so you can see both sides of the room. I would like to see as much of the total room as possible. Just asking. Yes. I'm in the train room, trying to wake up. The Easter luncheon was a bit too much. Need something to wake me up - how about scenery?!!!

Frank,

The room is getting clearer by the day. I'll get the photo for you tomorrow evening. I still need to clean off the layout first. Today I spent cleaning up the workbench area.

I've already eaten two bunny ears.

Tom

[ACL1504]

As I mentioned to Frank above, I spent today cleaning up the two work areas.

The back shop area - all rolling stock and passenger car repairs, brass loco work and decaling.



Structure building, painting and weathering of structures.



Over view of both areas.

Looks good Tom.  It'll look even better next weekend when there'should a bag of goodies from the EXPO sitting on it.
