This weekends progress on the ACTRR - Fifer - 02-08-2009 Here is what I have done this weekend plus a lot of work on the web site. I got the oil rig mounted and the small horse head and fence installed. I also mounted one of the sheds in at Valle Rojo. ![]() ![]() Mike Re: This weekends progress on the ACTRR - Trucklover - 02-08-2009 Mike thats a sweet oil rig!! ![]() ![]() Re: This weekends progress on the ACTRR - Fifer - 02-08-2009 Thanks Josh , That and the Schmelle Meat Packing are my two fav's on the layout. Mike Re: This weekends progress on the ACTRR - Jesso - 02-08-2009 I really like the rig, the colors are good on it. That shed looks great, looks like it has seen a lot of life. I also like your background wall, very nice paint job, the clouds and sky look great and the mountain blends into the scene well.

Mike Re: This weekends progress on the ACTRR - Will_Annand - 02-09-2009 Mike, you do fabulous work sir. Proving you can get detail in N Scale. You are making this N Scale layout better than alot of the HO scale layouts I have seen... Nicely done. Re: This weekends progress on the ACTRR - tetters - 02-09-2009 Nice rig! ![]() Re: This weekends progress on the ACTRR - Fifer - 02-09-2009 Thanks Will and Tetters , I also had to re-adjust the levels in my helix since I added a stack train. It was too tall and fortunately I used threaded rod for the supports , so was able to raise each level with minimal earthquake damage to the scenery. All cars now clear and damage repaired.

Re: This weekends progress on the ACTRR - Ralph - 02-09-2009 Mike, fantastic as always! ![]() ![]() ![]() Ralph Re: This weekends progress on the ACTRR - Steamtrains - 02-09-2009 Mike...I see you're up to your ol' tricks.....Those 2 scenes are just fantastic....!!!! I wasn't sure if that "mountain" was on the layout, or backdrop...It blends right in...(like the rest of your backdrop..) How 'bout a tour of your layout (I've seen the video) for the newbies here..?? It's worth "showing off". Keep up the good work..!! ![]() Re: This weekends progress on the ACTRR - Fifer - 02-09-2009 Steamtrains Wrote:Mike...I see you're up to your ol' tricks.....Those 2 scenes are just fantastic....!!!!Thanks Gus and Ralph, here is a link . I am hoping to update the pictures this four day weekend. http://www.fiferhobby.com/html/mike_fifer_s_albuquerque_carnu.html Mike Re: This weekends progress on the ACTRR - Fifer - 02-22-2009 Here are a couple of projects I have been doing this weekend. They are Yesteryear Creations Sawbust Burner Kit # 02 and the Fire Lookout Tower Kit # 05. I need to wash them off and get painting. These are straight forward but are tedious kits and well engineered and fit is really good. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Mike Re: This weekends progress on the ACTRR - Ralph - 02-22-2009 Mike you stun me when you post things like that! ![]() Ralph Re: This weekends progress on the ACTRR - Fifer - 02-22-2009 Ralph Wrote:Mike you stun me when you post things like that!Thanks Ralph , but what it really is , is a tribute to these guys who make the kits! Thanks , Mike Re: This weekends progress on the ACTRR - LynnB - 02-22-2009 Wow that looks like a lotta brass. The sawdust burner is going to look great all rusted up. |
