The Atlantic and Southern Build Thread Continued, Part 4

[ACL1504]

I'll be adding more LEDs under the loading docks. Once I've done this and get the structure back in place, I'll add some vegetation up next the stone foundation on the office side.

This small structure is a FOS kit, Gusano Loco Restaurant. No, Reading Bob didn't build this one.

The two red leaved and these two fantastic looking trees were all custom built for the A&S RR by Kris Cutler. She and Bill had the Pennsy Layout -

The Pennsy - Six Miles West of Altoona and More.

ACL 1504,
               Beautiful work and great follow along pictorial as always my friend!  I can't wait for the official full length video of the empire once you have finished tickling the plywood base with all the foam, wood, castings & paint. 
                                                                                  Thanx Thom...

Great progress! It really looks good. Seeing you get motivated is helping me get moving, too.

Tom - I really like the way this area is shaping up. 

You can tell the residents of Tahope County are forward-thinking by enticing a Cuban couple to open Gusano's Loco Restaurant south of the Tahope River.  There were very few Cubans in Florida in 1950.  There were a few in Miami, but most of the Cubans lived in Tampa and worked in the cigar industry or in one of the many excellent Cuban restaurants in the area.  I particularly remember Spanish Park and the Columbia.  I hope Gusano serves Trout Russian Style and Shrimp Valdez with fried plantains.  BTW, I do not think the "Loco" in the restaurant name refers to locomotives.  You might want to Google Gusano's daughter, Yanet Garcia, who moved to Mexico to become the most famous weather girl on television.
