greetings, Mike

have been following your build and have really enjoyed both the videos and posts here
super fine work!

sorry, but, I am unfamiliar with the auto part warehouse.
who manufactures it? and, is that the name of the building?
it would make a great addition to my planned industry area.

thanks for any information you might offer.

keep sharing here, your previous work and current progress has been inspiring and most appreciated

peace,
Gary L Lake Dillensnyder

Thanks Gary , it is a kit bash of the Walthers George Roberts Printing building.
Thanks , Mike

Yesterday I had some time to make video #40 on the Albuquerque Carnuel & Tijeras RR.
Not complete on the forest end but getting there after the helix placement.

Sorry Guys , it has been a while but just got back out to the room and here is the area I have been working on.
I am trying to get roads put in and figured out. I will again use roofing felt and hot glue to make these.

Today I got the road painted and some base scenery down in the area. I also got the track and ballast stained. Got some stain on the road as well. Now for the fun detail stuff.

Here is the latest on my small strip of scenery on the front edge. I got the Fifer Hobby building in as well as the nursery and scenery around the Auto parts distributor.

 Fabulous updates Mike.  I love the constant updates and changes to the ACTRR. For most they would have considered it a completed layout long ago.  Nice to see some modern equipment making some rounds on it.  :)
