Ralph Wrote:Sure is fun to see the layout in action and to get your descriptions. I especially liked the scene with the bowling alley around minute 4:30. It was a nice panarmaic shot that seemed to suggest a city going on quite a ways in the background. Great ground coloring in that scene too. Very realistic. Sound worked fine for me, by the way.

Thanks so much Ralph and glad you liked it. I just love the sharing side of model railroading.

Another great video..!!! I really like that A-B-B-A set that roams around the layout... Thumbsup
That's one of the great advantages of N-scale....You can put more prototypical consists together...

You should add to the credits of your videos "Starring the ACTRR".... Goldth

It wouldn't be a layout if it didn't need changing...!!! Great to see how your modifications will make for a more operable set-up...

Looking forward to your updates... Thumbsup

Is the layout at your store..?? I thought it was a home layout...

Re: ACTRR is being dismantled and re-constructed - Ralph - 01-06-2013

You do such neart work Mike! I'm a great admirer of your modeling. I imagine its a bit aggravating to rip out a section but your plans sound good to me. By the way, I sure liked seeing that ballpark again. looks great! One little detail question...what was that blinking blue light in the structure in the background in the first part of your video?

Well it is supposed to be a welder but not as nice as the first one I had in there. This one is an LED tye and not as realistic.

Here is a new video I just took and while not in the build series, it is just having fun.

Well everyone I finally got a small amount of work done in the room as well as some time to finally do video 28.
It seems when I get the time and start working on the layout I will go great guns for awhile then something comes up and I slow back down.
It seems right now I am at a peek again and seem to have a few ideas on areas that were hanging me up. WOOOO WHOOOO!!!

Thanks Gus , I doubt that will happen. I do not like to tinker and that would require tinkering if I was able to do it.

Today I got out and started to blend the scenery into the mounted Used Car Lot and the Small Depot.
