    Atlantic and Southern Railroad Build.

    First, let me say that I'm an Atlantic Coast Line fan so I type in purple. Just a habit I got into on another forum about 15 years ago.

    The A&S RR is named in honor of a late friend. He had no layout but loved the ACL and SRR, hence the Atlantic and Southern RR.

    I need to explain several things to give ya'll an idea of how I got to build the current layout. Back in June of 2013 my wife Pam and I drove 10 hours to visit Cliff Powers Magnolia Route. We only stayed a few hours but that visit changed my railroad modeling life. I said to Cliff, "You nailed this and it is perfect for the area of the country you are modeling. When I get home the old layout is coming out and a new one will be built."

    In December 2013 I began to removed the old layout. I'll show some of the old layout photos as I go along. The new layout is modeled from North Florida to Southern Georgia.

    I started the A&S RR build thread on another forum and can't possibly go over all that here. I have over 6,000 photos in a four part series.

    For now, I'll show photos of the layout in some specific locations. I won't bore you with a lot of narrative as I don't want ya'll loosing interest.

    First I'll show some photos of the old Atlantic and Southern RR.

          Good to see someone building a layout based on that part of the country. I am also a fan of the ACL, Sou and Seaboard.

            ACL,
            Nice looking layout. I particularly like the last two shots.

                  Thank you, much appreciate the support. I do have a YouTube Channel under Tom Langford. Here is one of my favorites.

                    Thank you, I was sad when I removed it for a better layout.

                      As it should, you saw this prior to the 2013 removal for the new layout.

                        Tyson,

                        Thank you. This is the old layout and the new one has lots of ACL,SAL, L&N, C&O and SRR. I never met a railroad I didn't like. Thanks for stopping by.

                          Scott,

                          Thank you, I appreciate the kind compliment on the layout. I was tough to remove it but the newer one (many photos to follow over the next few weeks) is much better and area specific.

                              Happy to see you here as well. Yes, the other forum is still going but I'm finding my way around here just fine.
