Painting...

... and making the layout bigger ;)

Looking along the road eastwards (mixing RL, pencil, brush with acrylics and photos...)

Hiding behind Coop Storage on the plain

Further south on the hillside of the valley

The Sky is not the limit...

...( any longer)

My first attempt to paint the backdrop. A little hill with trees rises behind the elevator. Still alot to do but a good start.

The nonexistent Train...

... or a mad idea...

Working on the removeable bridge section, I got an idea to make some different.

A train that ain't no train.

Instead two drilled holes in the rear wall...

And that together with a flashlight from behind looks real impressive...

Circle closed...

...at least. After some work today I ran the first train around the room.

Extra 265 West ready at the staging(Fiddletown).

It takes left in the Y...

Passing over the new old bridge...

 

And arrive to the industrial district in "No Name (Yet) City" and the Brewery.

Other end of the small Yard.

And arrives at a well known place, Crawford Valley.

And at last arriving to the staging again through the Y

Power Off.

Be aware, the light in the tunnel...

...might be a train (but that's another story)

Shelf layout ;) ...

... together with the landscaping I've mounted a shelf beyond the layout.

Some landscape...

... or at least som basic terraforming to the right. White Styrofoam, some filler, grinding and then light brown paint(secret recipe)

Sssch! Secret recipe= Biltema Café wallpaint with some extra brown added...

Premier run...

..., first train  at south end.

Switching the lumber mill (just imagine ;) )

Boxcars at the Feed Mill.

Control Panel close up.
