ACTRR my be dismantled and re-constructed

Mike,

That looks good and fits the location very well, I like it!

Who makes the vehicles you are using in the scene?

 

Thanks Boiler , the bus is Wheels of Time and the cream buick is Busch and the others are CMW.
Thanks Again , Mike

 

Mike,

I just spent some time watching a few of your youtube videos. It is great to see the progression from start to finish on various scenes. Everything is turning out just great! Your highway overpass is quite remarkable. It reminds me of a bridge in Watford, Ontario. The road over the tracks is almost identical to what you have there, just a real quick up and down.

Keep up the good work. I look forward to checking into your progress from time to time.:thumbs_up::thumbs_up:

 

Thanks so much Ben , it is great to have you follow along !!!

Mike

 

Looks just amazing! I like the overpass and the bus station etc, really gives me some ideas to try on my layout.

One of the toughest things to do in this hobby, at least for me, is to properly balance the trackwork, the trains and the scenery. It seems you have a real good eye for this type of balance.

Well done Mike! :thumbs_up::thumbs_up::thumbs_up::thumbs_up:

 

Thanks so much David , Mike

 

Here is what I have been doing. I got the new Main control panel done and converted over from the Kato controls. One of the Amphenol connectors is male from the panel to a connector block and on to the blocks for DC operation and the other is a female to a connector block for the Turnouts. The small 4 conductor wire and plug merely extend the Leds in the MRC wireless to the panel face. Also got the PowerPax connected to the program track.
There is a lot of new wire under the table you cannot see for all of this as well.





Mike

 

As always what you do looks good, I plan to use your example for my control Panels on my layout and that is something that I need to get started on when I get back off of vacation.

 

Thanks boiler , if you need a hand , give me a call.
Have fun on the Vacation !!!!

Mike

 

Thanks much Jerry! :thumbs_up:

I have been working on getting the bus depot and adjoining Ridley Hotel done and their parking lots and foreground paving in as well as the back alley in the downtown done and track ballast in that area as well. I have also put the Model Tech Studios Hobo shacks under the bridge and will install people likely today.
Here is what I have so far and is nearly complete.









Thanks to all following the ACTRR progress.

Mike

 

As always looking good!!!!!!

 

Thanks Boiler , Mike :thumbs_up:

Thanks Jerry , they were all done with a spray can , freehand and a home made stencil above the spray pattern.

Thanks , Mike

 

I have finally done a video #20. It includes the latest things done as well as a trip around the Albuquerque Carnuel & Tijeras RR.

Thanks , Mike

 

I got a major step done today. I cut the highway out of one continuouspiece of roofing felt. I then did the piece from the bridge to the crossing.Now for striping and blending in.
