The Atlantic and Southern Build, Part 1

Tom - I agree with you about the Arizona Rock product. It seems to be more trouble than it's worth Jim

Jim,

I'm going to practice with it down the road but for now it's a bottom of the list priority. Reading Bob used it and he said it took a bit of work to get the 50/50 water glue mix right but he said it turned out fine.

Great looking train and sounding steamer.

Nice videos.  New area is looking good so far.  Good to see a CB&Q boxcar on your pike.

Coming along nicely Tom.  You really have the eye for putting a scene together.

My Father, Carl T. Langford, now deceased, was the Mayor of Orlando from 1966 to 1980. He is responsible for signing the contract with Walt Disney to bring the mouse factory here. I'm not sure it was a good thing.

Well , I certainly think it was a good thing , I loved Disney Orlando and may never be able to visit California , it's a bit further away.

What's with he Greg speed? 

Sometimes a little high balling is necessary so the passengers don't make complaint calls to the suits about late arrivals or the freight gets there on time before the product goes bad.

Jan,

Yes, it was a great thing for the economy. I was speaking from a law enforcement point of view having spent the better part of 26 years in LE and 7 years with the State Attorney's Office. With all the great things that came with WDW, it also brought 1.5 million extra people to the area to live, work and commit crimes.

I marked where the rural structures will go.

Just like all engineers, the Judge also likes to block all roadways.

I'm going to put a small pond with and oil slick here.

I happened to be watching a Seaboard ALCO S-2 switcher working the West Tahope Yard. There must have been a rookie at the throttle or taking lessons from Greg. The first pick up was banged and pushed back a few feet. Slow down there, Lord only knows what was broken in some of the boxcars.
