The Atlantic and Southern Build, Part 1

[ACL1504]

Okay, in the next several photos you can see I'm removing the offending asphalt roadway.

I can't believe Jimmy the D was so nice to you after you almost gave him a coronary when you burned down his building.....you might want to think twice before you do that to him again, after this. 

Greg,

Let me remind you and all others, I didn't burn his structure.

It was a faulty LED that was being sold by SLIM!   My build, his bad LED.


Now, back to the regular programming.

Tom

I must have bad intel.....a little birdie told me that Slim thought the problem was caused by improperly installed LED materials....."just sayin." 

Greg,



Do you think for one minute Slim would admit to selling a bad/defective product.

Just saying back.

Tom

You may have a point.....next time I'll think it thru and stop believing everything I hear for unsubstantiated sources. 


I can't believe that da*n bird would try to lead down that errant road.

I didn't remove the asphalt from the top. I just painted on some Elmer's white glue and added some Scenic Express fine dirt.

[ACL1504]

Looks much better.



Dirt and more trees were added to the side sand hill.





I have a big tub of trees to choose from.

I'm afraid to response to Greg. He is in the quote a quote, quote a quote and quote mode.

Track ballast was added.





More trees and shrubs behind Barlow's.

Very nice job on the trees and hillside.

I agree with Curt,  Tom you are a true proper modeler in every meaning of the title.  You have made a true proper contribution to many parts of the modeling history.  Thank you!  Khaki...

I decided to make four channel markers that blinked.

I started by taking a 1/8" dowel cut to the length of the marker and drilled out the center.





I started with a small hole and then enlarged it.




I'm using Miniaturetronics 3mm red blinkers.

Khaki I,

Thank you, you are very kind sir. I love this hobby and love sharing my ideas as well. Again, thank you.

I wired the LED and pulled it through the dowel.





I drilled a hole in the plywood where I marked the location of the four channel makers.

Tom,
         Wow I see you are using your old 20 gauge practice target as a drill platform. Nice! (hint)  Thanx Thom...
