This is todays progress , I got a lot of plastering done and the right hand facia up. All the facia is done and the Un-obtainium mine has found a home as well as the mine train. The dry wash area was also plastered and that whole end of the layout is ready for base scenery.

Mike,

The new layout is looking good, the base coat you put on the rocks and the portals give the layout depth and is the start to making it come to life, can't wait to see more of your talent applied to your layout.

I also have just moved this last week.:thumb:
We found a home that will house my layout, now all I need to do is get it out here to Nebraska from Wisconsin.
My problem is that I have started a new job in IL that will last about 3 months.:curse:
Perhaps I can slip away over Thanksgiving and get my layout and rest of our furniture that is in storage back there (weather permitting)??? :twisted::winter1:

My layout has been in storage for about 3 years and that seems like a decade.wall1

Merry Christmas to all!
Here is what I added this weekend to the ACTRR.
I have put in a 4 track yard on the front edge of the layout to handle all of my rolling stock that will not be on "made up" trains. Also added another Electro-magnetic un-coupler and the two caboose tracks double as the program tracks. I only had to make a small adjustment to the panel, by adding 1 DPDT switch to the program track and make the old program track switch a block switch.

Merry Christmas back at'cha! Once again the layout looks great! The new yard looks like it will add a lot more operation. I like to have all my cars out as well. How many cars do you think you can store? I was wondering how wide the layout is where the new yard is? It looks great with all the tracks stacked up the way you have it.

Trainiac The layout is about 30" wide there and the total sidings on the main are about 7' long. The new yard section should hold nearly as many cars as the old yard plus the 3 track yard at the opposite end and I can have at min. 4 made up trains out. I just put my new El Capitan out and will try to take video tomorrow.
Thanks , Mike
