I am finally done installing The T. Leary Chemical plant on the left side of the entrance door. Of coarse they will get product from Fifer Unobtainium on a regular basis and they are very EPA concious, of coarse.

Yesterday I finally had time to do video 23 of the ACTRR. It is just a quick update on what I've been doing scenery wise and the swap from the MRC to the DigiTrax system.

Here is what I worked on this weekend.
The Fire Department was given to me in a scrap bin and i have put it on a new base and made a sign for it as well as touch it up some.
The Post Office is a @bay kit from Small Structures. I added the A/C and sign.
They will also go in Oro Grande (formerly The Ghost Town).

How does one go about ordering an LCL shipment from the good Dr. Leary's chemical works? :D

Always great to see the updates and videos, Mike.

Here is what I have been doing lately. This is the Atlas Middlesex building that I have angled to fit a space near my T Leary Chemical plant. There are A LOT of windows to do. I added the roof detail and cover on the entrance. The dock is scratch built. I still need to paint the dock and front steps as well as a few people and a base.

Mike, I'd missed your stucco treatment on the fire station... very well done.  I especially like the cracks with the brick showing through.  Very authentic.

The Atlas kit is on my list of the things to get.  I don't really have a place for it on the layout at this point, although I do have some spots around the yard that will need flats against the wall...  Could be just the ticket to kill some background space, and maybe splice in another industrial track to generate some more traffic.

Like what you've done with the angle.  How are you going to weather it?

Not sure yet Lee. Maybe just some streaking and a good dry brush.

Mike, thanks for posting another video of your layout.  It is very inspiring!!  :)
I tried to make a short video using my android; this attempt really helped me further appreciate the amount of work involved for you to put together a video.

Not only is the video inspiring, it is very helpful to learn from what you have done, how your layout has been changed and evolved to what you showed in this video.
Best wishes.
