Love your layout! Great work.
Which model building suppliers/brands do you most like and would recommend?
You have a lot of really nice buildings there.

Barry , I like kato for track and locos. Micro-Trains for cars. I like MRC wireless DCC and just about any buildings.
Thanks , Mike
 


Well guys , a lot of progress has be made on the Albuquerque Carnuel and Tijeras Railroad. I have now completed the installation of the helix and lower staging yard and all seems to run well so far. The maximum train length on the ACT is and has been about 12 cars plus 2 to 4 locomotives (as dictated by the upper level sidings). We will now have a rule similar to ATSF that will dictate a minimum of 2 locomotives per train for power to incline and decline purposes in the district.
Here is video # 33 and we hope you will take a look.

Hello all and Happy New Year. I am moving along on the stage II of the ACTRR. I did a new video that explains the plan beyond the staging yard efforts.
I hope you all take a look and enjoy.

Got back on the layout today and got the rock area blended in with the exclusion of water and foliage. Track also needs ballasting.

Glenn,

Looking good! Who made the pine trees on your hillside, behind the new rock face?

Thanks,

Well I had a chance today to do the finish work on the saw house of the lumber company. Now I have to work on the storage and distribution building.
Here is the final saw building.

Well all in all it was a productive weekend. I got all the stringer extensions made and installed. and got the masonite for the facia. Other than having a guy in a pickup hit me and my cart at Lowes all went well.
Got home and was able to get the new fcia cut and up then down and profiles cut and back up. Next will be the filler homasote pieces on the top.
