Nice work! Not easy coming back after a hurricane.

Takes not a little courage and determination to rebuild after a disaster. Congratulations. (love that prison road gang)

 

[Rico]

You're making a great comeback!
Are those animated signs?
Now you need "Lucille" washing her car by the road gang!

 

[t44florida]

I know "Lucille." Picking it up here boss!
All kidding aside, to me, modelling is therapeutic. I get busy and forget all my troubles.
So dive in Mikeymike and let your trouble fade away. Hurricane? What? Huh?

 

[mikeymike]

Thanks

Thanks for the words on encouragement guy's,
Lucille?Hmm there's a thought,seems to me "What we have here is a failure to communicate". And No Rico those aren't animated sign's.
Anyhow,here are a few more pics of the layout and its slow progress.

Love the industrial areas! Nice recovery! Steam & diesel, or just diesel?

 

[mikeymike]

I run both steam and diesel,the steam power is used for tourist ride's...

[Rico]

Okay either you guys have seen some re-runs or you're giving away your ages! LOL
That industrial shot is my fav too, looks like the Geo Roberts building?

 

[tootnkumin]

Actually, getting back to Lucille, I think she's in that 190SL just behind the truck's cab. About to pull up and do her washing thing.

Very nice work! I like it. Was anything salvaged from the previous layout?

 

[mikeymike]

Gary:
I was able to salvage about 40% of the buildings,as far as my power though that was a different story,thankfully the entire layout and all my tools were insured.Thanks for the kind words also.

Some of your buildings are getting to be vintage. That's why I thought they were maybe salvaged. Good thing, it's getting hard to replace some of those.
